Philips DVP642 DivX-Certified Progressive-Scan DVD Player
Very Good Player
This player will play DVD+R/RW and DVD-R/RW with no problems.  I think the people who report problems with DVD-R are simply lying. <br /> <br />When encoding DivX AVI files, you should cap the max bitrate at 2000kbps to get perfectly smooth playback.  It does support DivX(3,4,5.x),Xvid, MP4, mpeg1 and mpeg2. <br /> <br />My negative reaction is to the filename display which is limited to 11 characters.  If they increased it to 24 characters, I would have given this player a 5/5.
