RCA DRC240N DivX-Capable Progressive-Scan Single Disc DVD Player
Don't make this your only DVD player
I bought this player on the recommendation of Phil Love (see his review below) and our mutual friend Paul.  While Phil and Paul love their players, I have been frustrated time and time again by this one.  Phil's review is quite correct; this player works better with DivX and XVID than most other players.  Unfortunately, it suffers from a number of problems, including difficulties with standard, factory-pressed DVDs.<br /><br />The video portion of DivX and XVID files sometimes unexpectedly start playing at fast speed in the middle of a file while the audio continues at normal speed.  You can usually solve this problem by pressing the fast-forward button and then quickly reverting back to normal speed.  Of course, then you'll have to \\"rewind\\" back to where you where.  Sometimes, attempts to rewind these files will kick you completely out of playback and you'll have to start over from the beginning and fast-foward to where you were.  It doesn't take too many times for this to happen before you start getting a poor opinion of this player.<br /><br />But by far the most baffling problems occur with standard DVDs.  I can accept spotty performance with DivX and XVID files, but a DVD player damn well ought to play standard, factory-pressed DVDs correctly.  It is not at all uncommon for this player to fail to play part or all of a DVD.  As far as I can tell, this has nothing to do with scratches on the disk or any other physical problem.  The last straw was when I put my brand new Star Wars Episode III disk into the player upon receiving it.  Some of the special features wouldn't play and some of the chapters of the movie wouldn't either.  Sometimes doing a power-cycle would fix the problem and sometimes not.  Needless to say, if you rent a DVD from the video store only to find out that your player won't accept it, that puts a damper on the evening.<br /><br />This player isn't completely worthless and I do appreciate that it does a better job of playing DivX and XVID files than the past players I've owned.  But I would strongly suggest that you purchase this as a secondary player only.files than the past players I've owned.  But I would strongly suggest that you purchase this as a secondary player only.
