    Hey there...
    I was looking at one of these standalone DivX-players, but I don't know which ones support 3.11a, since it's more or less (well, more actually) illegal.
    I know they (DivX-players) all support MPEG-4, but this means only DivX 4+ and XviD and all other MPEG-4 standard encoded files.
    I'd want to buy one only if it supports DivX 3.11a, so does anyone know of a list of good DivX-players that supports this old, but widely used format?
    I'd hate to reencode from DivX 3.11a to XviD or the likes.

    Thanks in advance!

    most players are backwards compatible.. i know philips and polaroid have standalone players for a good price, not sure how reliable though..

    divx illegal? why? another form of compression right? just like wmv, mpeg1and2, and mov? right?

    I have a yamada 6000. It plays divx 3.11 perfectly fine. Too bad the player doesn't support Qpel or GMC.
