Philips DVD963SA

[DW]

Hey all,

Does anyone have any experience with this player? (or even one similar to it?) Is it good? More importantly, i looked at the DVD963SA's spec page, and couldn't tell: does it play DVD-R/-RW? ideally, i'd like a player that does:

DVD-R
DVD+R
DVD+RW
DVD-RW
Audio CD (ACD)
Video CD (VCD) [and preferably SVCDs, if possible, but not necasary]
CD-R
CD-RW
MP3 CD
WMA CD
DVD Audio
DivX/xVid/MPEG-4 encoded CD & DVD
Progressive scan

it does SACD, but is this really needed? is it such a great feature?

thanks!

Where do you see it that says it plays Mpeg4/DivX? I don't see it in the Manufacturer's spec!

no... it doesn't play DivX, etc. (hence my saying "ideally, i'd like a player that..."). I'm looking for suggestions besides the Philips, but the DVD963SA looks like a damn fine player, even if it doesnt have all my desired specs. Is it? is there another one which DOES have everything i want?
