Philips DVP642 DivX-Certified Progressive-Scan DVD Player
Worked for an hour!!
I was really enthusiastic about the price of this DVD player, but I guess 'too good to be true' does apply.  I hooked it up easily enough, changed the output settings to make my component video look right, no worries yet.  Tested the player with a couple of DVDs containing MPG and AVI files, everything played well - no problems with codecs or quality.  I settled in to watch a movie, and that was the beginning of the end. <br /> <br />About half an hour into the movie, the screen froze with no other information.  I ejected the disc, re-inserted, and got a quick 'No Disc' error message.  Different discs, same problem - nothing would play.  The warranty service from Philips is really lousy; I'm responsible for shipping charges to return the player to them, and then I get to wait almost a month for them to exchange the unit.  I'm going to jump through the hoops, because $60 invested is still $60, but I wouldn't buy this player again if it cost $20.  If you choose this model, be wary of the warranty service!
