Philips DVP642 DivX-Certified Progressive-Scan DVD Player
Everything went into Divx
I bought a couple of these.  I backed-up videos to CD after re-encoding them to Xvid format with ESS Standalone Support using AutoGK (Gordon Knot).  The movies turned out fantastic.   <br /> <br />After that, this DVD player has much to be desired.  The software is aweful and there's no support from Phillips.  Controls are non-standard, so your learning a new system.  I went from a 5 year old Panasonic to a new $40 Toshiba player and the controls were the same.  Not this puppy.  Also, the unit is cheaply made and prone to break quickly.  One of the two I bought started making clicking sounds as it read disks.  I took both of them back and went with the $40 Toshiba from Costco/BJs (got one at each for the same price).  Although the Toshiba won't play Divx, I'm fine burning mpeg-2 DVDs for having a good, standard, reliable DVD player.
