Philips DVP642 DivX-Certified Progressive-Scan DVD Player
Plays nearly everything, even DATA DVDs
This is an excellent player for the money and its much more versatile than some players costing 2 or 3 times as much.<br /><br />One feature that I have not seen mentioned anywhere, including the user's guide: This player will read DVD+R and DVD+RW DATA discs. (I haven't tried DVD-R or DVD-RW data discs, but my guess is they will work too.) That means you can write multiple DivX or MPG movies to a DVD data disc and watch them by navigating through the disk directory using the remote control. That also means you can play DivX or MPG movies that are too large to fit on a single CD.<br /><br />In addition, I've had no trouble playing MPG movies that are not in VCD or SVCD format.<br /><br />You can't go wrong with this one.
