DVD player thatg plays Div X

FX Meister

Thinking about upgrading the old Pioneer DVD player for a newer model. I've gotten a lot of shows from a mate who burned them onto DVD as DivX avi and I want to be able to watch these on teh TV and not just my PC. Has anyone got any good recommendations as to a capable player? I'm looking at a phillips, http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00096J3HG/qid=1133382684/sr=8-12/ref=pd_ka_12/026-8005612-2971657 and a Sony http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0009A41IS/qid=1133382760/sr=8-6/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i6_xgl/026-8005612-2971657.

I'd prefer the Sony as I find their products to be of good quality but I heard about issues in teh past with playing burnt discs and the like. I've used the Phillips as we have that model here at work but I've never been a big fan on Phillips products. Any ideas?

I could be way off base here, but id say Sony would be the last company on earth to sell a piece of harware that is DivX compatible.

samsung do one thats divx compatable, but if i were you id wait till the divx HD (divx6) players are over here and at a decent price.

I got the Philips one a few weeks ago. Not a problem with it. I was expecting a SCART cable in the box, but there you go.

You can get one from Marx Computers also, its some random brand player, but it plays virtually all disks and all formats. Also it can be made region free and its only 68 yoyos.

Might wait for that divx HD player so. I've been watching them on teh PC and it doesn't seen so bad now as I have a fairly big monitor and the sound gopes through my stereo anyway. Thanks for the feedback.
