Philips DVP642 DivX-Certified Progressive-Scan DVD Player
No more watching all of your video files on your PC only!
This is the best DVD player so far for watching video files on your TV.  I've been looking for a DVD player like this for several years now and bought it for the price only, not reading the little print about DIVX and other video files.  The player is nice and compact has a silvery brushed metal look that we see on new cell phones and new car dashboards nowadays.   <br /> <br /> <br />Most of the features are what you expect from a player in this price range.  The remote is a nice size but for some reason most all manufactures make remotes too small.  The absence of an eject button is kinda suprising but if you are taking a DVD out, you are going to be getting up anyway.  One of the very few complaints about this unit is that the power shuts off sometimes when you hit the stop button! <br /> <br /> <br />Overall a great little player for the price and a MUST HAVE for those with video files on their PC's.  What a wonderful ability to play a compressed movie on a 700 MB CD-R with very good picture quality.  I always thought the inexpensive APEX machines were good but this Phillips unit will play CD-R without having to be encoded with nero or some other software.  Just burn them to CD-R or DVD and play.  This unit also plays DVD+R and DVD-R withouth any problems!  Get this great machine if you have DIVX, MPEG, AVI, and WMV video files and you are tired of watching them on your PC!
