Burn DIVX to cdr,, will it play

[brew01]

I'm looking at purchasing a Philips dvp642. Will it playDivx videos if they are burnt to a cd-r disk?
Will it play AVI's ?

Yes, in the AVI package, but "Global Motion Compensation", and "Q-Pel" aren't supported. They usually aren't enabled by default.

DivX Codec has a "Home Theater" preset, that makes it easy.

Stick with MP3 or AC3 for the audio track.

CD-R or DVD-R, it supports both disc formats.

Thanks for the info.

Yeah, but it is really picky. Some files wouldnt playback audio, alot had cropping and aspect issues, some files would not play (home theatre profile I think). But it plays them, about 65/70% of my collection. It was easier for me to just watch them via the tv out function of my video card so I took it back (it was faulty anyway and wouldnt play dvds)

My advise is dont rely on it to play your preburnt video collection amassed from up to 4 years ago. That said its the best standalone out there atm for the price anyway so just get it if ya need one.
