Philips DVP642 DivX-Certified Progressive-Scan DVD Player
Great player !!! I love it - plays everything...
This player really plays everything you load in  - movies, music, pictures from DVDs or CDs. The movies can be all regions - PAL  and NTSC. That means movies from Europe will play with no problem. A friend of mine gave me \\"Blake 7\\" -a  movie form UK on a DVD, but it would not play in  my old Panasonic DVD player, because it was PAL DVD. With the Philips plays great right away without the need for conversion ! It plays MP3s burned on a DVD - that means 4.7 GB of music or in other words - 4700 minutes in MP3 format of custom selected music !!! That means over 2 days and a half without stopping, without ever repeating a piece !!!! Way  cool ! I burn those DVDs from my favourite playlists on iTunes.  It really plays all your music - weather is in MP3 or regular audio CD format. It playes all your videos that you had burned from your digital camera on a CD along with the pictures... That means you can share all your memories form your trip. It is a great feature... Actually on one CD/DVD you can have different data - favourite photos, music, home videos and movies and it will play it all. You can browse through a menu and play whatever you wish without a need for conversion to VCD or SVCD ever - just burn the data CD or DVD with music, videos, pictures, .AVI files compressed with DivX technology... It can also play jpg picture slide shows with random transitions...   Bottom line it will play it all.    Great value !
