Philips DVP642 DivX-Certified Progressive-Scan DVD Player
Except for DVD-R support this player is very versatile
Amazon.com has a false advertisement about the Philips DVP642, It claims to play DVD+R/RW and DVD-R/RW. However DVD-R support is a myth. I am very well conversant with writing DVDs on my DVD Burner and the Philips Model doesn't support it at all. This is terrible as I have a huge collection my Movies(Back ups) on DVD-Rs and this player renders them useless.<br /><br />Added Later:\\" The 642 actually does support some brands of DVD-R, it is extremely picky\\"<br /><br /> Also the DivX support is not anything Great. The videos are not very smooth and there is a lack of QPEL support. I couldn't find any firmware upgrades on the Philips Website.<br /><br />  Basically the Avayon DXP1000 and other similar products are much better.
