I've never heard of a hack to make Divx work. I suppose such hacked firmware is theoretically possible, but the only firmware mods I've heard of in recent years on DVD and BluRay players are to do things like add special subtitle support for extra character sets, not to turn on Divx/AVI support.

You should be warned that Sony and Samsung BluRay players sold in the USA and Canada cannot be hacked. Even if you get an answer, I not only expect the hack to fail to do what you want, I think there is some chance it may actually brick your player. Try this at your own risk with the understanding that it may destroy your player to even try it.

Thanks for they reply , but this it what i am talking about

C/P
I found it`s possible to install a firmware from another country.
With this, it's possible to see DVDs ou BDs from another region, AND take advantges from other features published only on another country firmware, for example: in Brazil don't have Netflix and Pandora networks, so Samsung let them see AVI/DiVX files from USB or DVDs.
To install a firmware from another country:
- download/unzip the firmware
- using a Hex Editor edit the RUF file
- locate the 3 letters code that identify the country of this firmware, it's like XAA (for US)
- change to the your-model's country (see at BD-P1600 system information)
- Follow the rest of normal procedure

What part of "IT MAY DESTROY YOUR PLAYER" do you not understand?

I know exactly what you are talking about.

Brick your player then. I don't care. Installing firmware from other countries CAN brick your player due to hardware differences between the models. I'm done here.
