Yamaha DVD5750 Progressive Scan DVD Player
Not good enough for Divx movies
I bought this player solely for its Divx playback capability.   <br /> <br />That being said, the 5750 is not good enough me.  The problem is that it video playsback is all choppy, seems like it is skipping frames.  It has to do with the packed bitstream in the files and how the Yamaha handles it.  The way to get around this is use a program called MPEG4Modifier, load the file, click on the Unpack Bitsream checkbox and save the file back to disk.  It doesn't take a long time (maybe 3min for a 1gb file), but you'll have to do this for each divx file you have.  Not worth the effort b/c time is money.     <br />By the way, the 5750 is suppositely very similar to the older Yamaha 550, and the firmware has not been updated since 2005.   <br /> <br />I never got around to checking anything else on this DVD player, but I read it has good sound and video. <br /> <br />For those looking for a really good Divx player, the best choice is the Oppo Digital 971H, which I also have.
