Philips DVP642 DivX-Certified Progressive-Scan DVD Player
Does play DVD-R/RW media as well as others mentioned....
Have had this DVD player about a week and I have got to say that I like it.  (My model number is DVP642/37.)  It plays all the formats mentioned on the box very well.  Now, the manual states that it will not play DVD-R/RW media (and so does another review listed here).  But it has played every disc I have put into it whether it was +R/RW or -R. [The +R/RW media came from the DVD burner in my PC and the -R from my Panasonic DVD recorder.  Honestly, I have not tried -RW since my Panasonic does not recognize it.] It is possible that there was firmware update that did fix this problem, if it ever was a problem.<br /><br />Not giving it 5 stars because the chinzty remote annoys me as do the limits on file name length for MP4 and photo cds.  It would also improve with a firmware update that supported newer Divx/Xvid features like Qpel and GMC so that it would truly play everything you put in it.
