Philips DVP642 DivX-Certified Progressive-Scan DVD Player
does for me what my sony and samsung won't
yes, it is a more than adequate dvd player <br />yes, it is a nice size and appearance <br />yes, it plays lots of stuff \\"other\\" dvd players won't <br />no, it doesn't play every video codec <br />yes, it is easily made region-free <br />yes, it appears to play ntsc or pal <br />yes, the price is right. <br />so i have bought a few for self and friends. maybe paranoia that some features will not be available in future if powers that be have their way. <br />overall, a really good deal
