What chipset does it use? How does it perform?

[ZeroSix]

it uses ESS... performance is lightening fast, and of very good quality. It's definitely impressive.

[RabidDog]

U would say that wouldn't you. ESS as opposed to the zoran?

[sreemv]

No progressive scan? What about MP3 playlists and/or directory browse/navigation/playback? Mixed [Mp3+jpg+misc] CD playback? How about straight MPEG2/MPEG1 file playback from a burnt DVD? Subtitle support for DivX/XviDs?

[ZeroSix]

Progressive scan - yes
MP3 playlists / browse / directory scan / ID3 tags - yes
Mixed [Mp3+jpg+misc] CD playback - Yes. Even on DVD
straight MPEG2/MPEG1 file playback from a burnt DVD - yes. Even .vob files and demuxed streams, although demuxed streams is pointless.
Subtitle support for DivX/XviDs - yes

ESS as opposed to Sigma.

[sreemv]

Progressive scan - yes
MP3 playlists / browse / directory scan / ID3 tags - yes
Mixed [Mp3+jpg+misc] CD playback - Yes. Even on DVD
straight MPEG2/MPEG1 file playback from a burnt DVD - yes. Even .vob files and demuxed streams, although demuxed streams is pointless.
Subtitle support for DivX/XviDs - yes

I must say thats quite impressive - now, is there a retailer I can walkin and try this unit out?

[ZeroSix]

Not just yet, but there will be. We're getting there... One step at a time.

They will be a featured item on DivX.Com VERY soon...

[Jeerix]

sounds awesome! may hav to hold out fer that instead of the RV4000.. Any idea how much $$ the portable will be yet?

[sushix]

ZeroSix
Does the player support subtitle and zoom on Divx?

[ZeroSix]

Sushi --

yes and yes.


Jeerix --

the portable will probably cost $300 or so... this is because it has a hard drive built in and USB2.0 for copying media files from a disc or your computer [saves on battery life when played from a hard drive]

Our software suite is almost finished also. If any of you are familiar with Forty-Two or Gordian Knot, you are in for a real surprise!

[sushix]

The portable Divx is cool idea. How about add on adapters like the camera for the portable Divx player?

[ZeroSix]

camera?

[g500pc21]

Progressive scan - yes
MP3 playlists / browse / directory scan / ID3 tags - yes
Mixed [Mp3+jpg+misc] CD playback - Yes. Even on DVD
straight MPEG2/MPEG1 file playback from a burnt DVD - yes. Even .vob files and demuxed streams, although demuxed streams is pointless.
Subtitle support for DivX/XviDs - yes

What kind of de-interlacing does it support? Does it just read the flags for a dvd? Can you override the de-interlacing chip, and force film or video mode de-interlacing for badly flagged dvds?

[g500pc21]

Also, can it convert PAL -> NTSC correctly? And is it region-free? (FYI, I don't care about Macrovision)

[ZeroSix]

It can convert PAL/NTSC correctly in our tests. For the de-interlacing, we will have to check thoroughly and let you know.

[RabidDog]

How does this stack up against the yamada dvx6100 ?? set top not portable?

--well "Forty-Two is utter shite,just wouldnt do anything,bar **** up my mac,and my father has tried "Gordian Knot",and he gives it the thiumbs down,so is the real surprise that it wont work as well?!?

[ZeroSix]

Not sure about your experience with 42 or GK, but both are excellent, EXCELLENT programs.

[tommyoz]

ZeroSix,

This player sounds great. Who is the manufacturer? AV Industries? and not that this is important but does it support "OGGVORBIS"?

On the players with hard drives (coming soon), can you record directly to it? or is it just for file transfering?

Thanks,
Tommyoz

I've never heard of Forty-Two but GORDIAN KNOT is the best way to make a DivX

I can't imagine anyone bashing GORDIAN KNOT unless they simply didn't understand it.

In the world of digital video it often takes a lot of EXPERIENCE to get things right.

You can't expect things to happen easily on the first couple of tries

[teramesher]

quetions:
1) On the website, it says "supports divx version 3.11, 4.02 through 5.02. What about anything higher?
2) Does it play avi encoded with DTS audio?
3) firmware upgradeable? If so, how often will it be updated?

[tommyoz]

I guess ZeroSix is too busy to answer.

[tommyoz]

Either this is being kept a BIG secret or there is no such thing. I apologize if i'm wrong.

[He||Fire]

Anyone here has ZERO support from AV industries?

I asked them how to reset the parental lock password on the unit and after FIFTEEN emails, no freakin' answer!

Tried to call but the voicemail box is full! Who whould have thought?

[CaseyComb]

Hey ZeroSix! Is there a region-free/macrovision hack for this? HAHAHAHHAHAHAHA

[tommyoz]

I had my doubts from the beginning about this place. I asked some simple questions and it was like pulling teeth for an answer. That turned me off and I never looked back again until I saw this post.

I hear Naked-Geek DVD discs play best on these machines
