I want to buy a DIVX/XVID/VCD/SVCD/ Player

[axg275]

Hello folks,

I had bought an RJ player way back when they first came out for my father. However he is complaining to me that its not playing a lot of disks. So I want to buy another player but this time such that it would play everything thats out there. I looked throught this forum but was unable to identify what is good and what is not. Please recomend something resonably well priced which could play diff video formats without spitting nails. Or please point me to a right post here in the forum which discusses this issue.

Thanks alot

Phillips DVP642 gets my vote. Own 2 and have bought 2 for others.

I routinely burn Raw MPEGs as data to disk. Plays every one without a hitch.
