Philips DVP642 DivX-Certified Progressive-Scan DVD Player
Good Product, Plays all formats
Best feature of this player is that, it plays all formats. I have played Xvid,Divx,AVI,MPEG I,MPEG II , DVD+R, DVD+RW,CD-R,CD-RW, PAL, NTSC. It plays DIVX / MPEG files directly when copied to a CD/DVD <br /> <br />I have this player since about 1 year now. <br /> <br />Some times, if the AVI Video is NTSC/PAL (not sure for which one) the Video format option need to be set to MULTI from the menu for the file to play well. <br /> <br />Once in a while I have come across some AVI files (Xvid / Divx ?) which either gets played very distored or the player skips a file and plays next.. These are files that play in computer though.. I think that it is more of an issue with the file being a non standard AVI file. <br /> <br />Never had any problem in playing MPEG files. <br /> <br />Directory browsing is a bit slow(some times frustrating) when the disc is written in file mode (when the files are just copied to DVD/VCD and played) .  <br /> <br />There is one problem with &lt;&lt; Rewind action in file mode.. When tried to rewind the player get confused and either go to the menu or begning of previous file. I have seen this with most MPEG files.  <br />
