    Hi,

    Does anyone know of a Xvid, DIVX, AVI compatible DVD player reasonably priced?

    converting to VOB and buring to DVD is SUCH a pain in the ... :)

    that sounds good! does it have any issues with some avi files? or plays everything you throw at it?

    why would you attach a pen drive or hard drive via USB? can you play files from the hard drive through the player?

    thanks again:)

    keep an eye on Lidl and Aldi websites.. i got mine there for €69 it plays MPEG4, DIVX, AVI, MP3 etc... also has 7-1 card reader on the front ..
    i can just copy movies to my camera card and slot it in the player.. handy..

    yes,
    you can attach a pen drive / hard drive and play movies / jpegs . mp3s directly

    its only usb 1.1,
    but thats enough to for most avi files - video is usally 700kbs and audio 128kbps
    never had slowdown with it

    plays "most" xvid/divx files
    as in if you make them properly they work fine,
    most movies / tv shows etc in xvid format play fine,
    however if your files arent standard they may not play.
    dont know how much detail i can post about this ;)
    pm me if your not sure what i mean.

    I didn't realise those Aldi/Lidl DVD Players could play Divx from the card readers! That's very handy! I must look out for one also!

    old thread...
    is that question directed at me?

    i upgraded to windows media centre edition as it has a lot more functionality than a dvd player.
    maninly the ability to play any file over a network and record/pause/rewind live tv.
    all via a remote control
