Philips DVP642 DivX-Certified Progressive-Scan DVD Player
Inexpesive and almost great
I bought this mainly as a replacement for the first DVD player I owned that finally died. I wanted a DVD player and a reliable MP3 player, but along with that, this player plays mpeg and divx movies without making them into VCD's or DVD's. Just burn to a data disc. My one dissapointment is MPEG4 movies play with no sound even after the firmware upgrade. There are several DVD players with most of these features these days, this is definately one to consider.<br />>>>>> UPDATE>>>>I've discovered the cause of my MPEG4 movie problem. (no sound)<br />While this player supports the MPEG4 movie format it does not play AAC sound. The majority of MPEG4 movies that I have found use this audio format.
