Philips DVP642 DivX-Certified Progressive-Scan DVD Player
Great player
I recently purchased the Philips DVP642 DVD player and I am quite pleased with it. I have a lot of files in .avi format, and it takes me several hours to encode them in DVD, SVCD, or VCD format to play on a DVD player. Now, with this player, I can just put my .avi files onto CD-Rs, pop them in the DVD player let the machine do the rest.<br /><br />The quality that AVI, DIVX, and MPEG-4 are displayed in is amazing. The files play much better than they do on my home computer. This is thanks to a \\"smart\\" technology that the player uses to enhance compressed video. Many scenes will appear in almost DVD quality.
