DISQUS

I like my DVP642 also, not perfect, but plays 95% of all the .AVI files I have tried. Using Roxio, I have found that ISO9660 works but Joliet has problems...

I also have one of these and while it generally does a good job of playing back xvid and dvix it does have sme really annoying quirks. If the xvid has Qpel or GMC it won't play. Also the avi files have to be encoded in a standard format or ditto, no play. But it's not a bad macnine for 70 bucks.

The DVP642 or 630 sucks because the chipset in it. I have a cheap other player with the MediaTek 1339 chipset instead of the ESS Vibratto in the philips, and the chepo plays everything. Everything I tell you! So return anything with ESS in it...

I don't know what Per's problem is because I own one of these DVP642's and I think that's it's the next best thing to sliced bread. As for the Xvid problems it was never desined to play them at all. It playing the ones it does play is just icing on a perfict cake.

You kids want a Divx / Xvid capable DVD player? i have 3 words for you: Xbox Mod Chip.
My Xbox has became my whole entertainment center, i can watch any DVD, any avi file, with subs, no hassle, and plus, i can play games... and its hard drive its very easy to upgrade.
