its the new Liteon DD-A500GX its is a dvd-rw, hdmi and divx. everything you need so I thought.
This is my second unit as the first one whilst playing div-x after just a few seconds would go out of sync by about 3-4 secs. also the movie would look as if its speeds up a touch. At first I thought the second one was fine but now after playing a few other div-x movies its exactly the same. It plays dvd's great but not div-x.
I have updated the firmware and am in contact with Liteon tech but the first time i was told just to take it back (at xmas its crazy out there) which I did but now the second unit is playing up which seems strange, but on searching the net I see a lot of people have problems with liteon div-x players and out of sync movies but are normally sorted with new firmware.
The same movies I can play on my other philips div-x player and also my PC and play 100% perfect which is whats got me baffled.
Any ideas, could it be the way I am burning them or is it just a cheap decoder in the player thats causing the problem?

Just spoken to liteon and was basically told the liteon does not supoprt all codecs and bitrates so if I download a movie that has one codec that works on the liteon the next divx I download may have a codec that is not supported by liteon where as another make of player i.e. philips will support all codecs which to be honest is a load of bull as the philips i have is 2 years old and the liteon is a new model.
I think they are using cheap decoders and they cant keep up with the bit rates.
Very disappointed


thanks for any replies and fixes if any as it looks like its going back for the second time

Get a Philips DVP-5140 or Philips DVP-5960

Both have excellent DivX and XviD support.

I have the DVP-5140 which is nearly identical to the DVP-5960 except I don't have HDMI upconversion on mine whereas you do.

The image quality of DVD as well as MPEG-4 (DivX and XviD) files are very good and it can handle a wide range of MPEG-4 files athough there are bound to be some here or there that will not work I still think it (DVP-5140/DVP-5960) is the best MPEG-4 player around.

Please note that some people have said that you often do have to "unpack" XviD files with "packed bitstreams" but that is easy-to-do using MPEG4Modifier and even then this only seems needed using certain firmware versions.
