Philips DVP642 DivX-Certified Progressive-Scan DVD Player
Already surpassed expectations
I was worried about some of the mp3 and video playing capabilities of this player. According to some specs it only plays bit rates in powers of two (64, 128, 256) and only played VBR up to 160 kbps. But this just isn't true. It played my mp3s that were 192 kbps VBR, 160 kbps VBR, 160 kbps fixed bit rate, and 128 kbps fixed bit rate. It also played my short .mpg videos that my sony digital camera can record without any problems. Was able to play a movie that our previous player couldn't. This is a great buy.
