Best divx player

[elec999]

I am looking into buying a divx player. I like the Philips dv642, but a few things I dont like, It can only read 8 character files names. I am looking for a divx player that can dvds with mp3s, and long file names. I am not sure if there is any way to get long file names on the philips. Can anyone recomend me the best player.
Thanks

AVOID DAMN PHILIPS .I returned mine (bought it from amazon)) to Wal-Mart and got the ILO-DVD04.The philips player comes with 3 months warranty ONLY,so its not made to last more than 6 or if u are lucky 8 months.check the reviews on Amzon.com. The new buyers give the player 5 stars ,and if u read the bad reviews the 1st sentence u will read "player died after 4 months"player died after 6 or 8 months,,,,,"

a modded xbox gotta love xbox media center, and because its open source, its continually updated. Always has the latest codecs, I really wish most dvd player companies would upgrade their firmware as often as dvd-writer companies do. Even if i buy the new xbox when it comes out, i'm still keeping this one for a media centre.

The Philips DVP 5106K/97 is supposed to be the upgrade version of the DVP 642K with additional features like the GMC and QPel support, WMA support, 12 bit/108MHz video, Xvid support (mentioned in the manual and website) and internal software upgrades like long character filename support, additional subtitles support, 32x Fast Forward etc.
Everything else is just like the old DVP 642. I purchased this player before a few days and it's got all the features of the DVP 642 + more. Also, it's the same price as the DVP 642.
More details of this player can be found on india.philips.com

3 months warranty like the old one?

Wonder when that model will hit Stateside?

The Philips DVP 5500s is as far as I see it almost perfect price/performance wise. Excellent picture (on a normal TV, would love to try it on a big screen), great sound (Matrix Revolutions never sounded so good), all the features and divx (not ESS Vibrato). But from what Im reading you guys always concentrate on the 640. So I assume that it is simply not available where you are?

Went to the site does mention Xvid but does not mention GMC and Qpel. Should I assume you have done tests throughly and it plays all versions of Xvid?
thanks

No current chipsets support 3 warp point GMC. Therefor no current players support XviD with GMC.

qpel is supported by numerous chips.

Hmmm...mine says I purchased it on 10/22/2004 and it's still going strong. I guess I'm just lucky *again* like my Panasonic E80H not having any problems either...

I purchased 2 Phillips DVP642's on July 1/04; one for myself and the other for my girlfriend. Mine is still going strong, but hers died 2 days ago. Eh, but then she smokes and has 3 cats in her house.

Now I've got to find her a new DivX/XviD compatible player because I've been getting her to convert all of her tvv caps to avi's. Sigh.
