Philips DVP642 DivX-Certified Progressive-Scan DVD Player
Good player, but not as good as a lot of people say
I have owned this player for about two months now. Honestly, this player isn't as good as everyone says. It does play most of my Divx and Xvid movies (about 80-90%), but there are still some movies it wouldn't play even though they are just encoded with regular Xvid encoding(verified with GSpot). Also, there's something weird about the progressive-scan capability. First of all, the progressive-scan doesn't really seem to be working because you can still see some motion artifacts, which doesn't happen with my other panasonic progressive-scan dvd player. Second, with progressive-scan turned on the subtitles flicker and I am forced to just turn progressive-scan off (well it's not really working in the first place anyway). This problem could just be particular for my SONY projection TV, but it's still annoying. Overall this is still a good player though.
