Philips DVP642 DivX-Certified Progressive-Scan DVD Player
My Savior!
I had several DVD backups that would not play on my old player but did so perfectly on this one.  I have also played avi and mpg files and was thrilled that they played perfectly (although the lack of 1.5 zoom on these files is annoying). <br /> <br />5 out of 5 stars in ease of use, installation, support, and looks good even on my old tv. <br /> <br />I bought it recently and it came with the latest firmware upgrade so no issues there.
