Philips DVP642 DivX-Certified Progressive-Scan DVD Player
It's about time!
I saw this DVD player on DivX.com and thought it was too good to be true. I've been using Dr. DivX for about half a year to encode video, but wouldn't consider myself anything other than a novice at best still. What I love about this system is that it makes fancy DVD burning software unnecessary, and actually it makes DVD media unnecessary if you don't want to bother with it. You can burn or encode a DivX video onto a CD-R with the XP writing wizard, throw it in the player, and watch it on your TV. <br /> <br />Aside from that it's quite obviously a good trend to see manufacturers making products like this that support many different file formats, especially at this price. I can't honestly see the point in buying a machine that doesn't support DivX or other video now, and hopefully I won't have to again.
