When will they come out of the closet?

When will the big boys of the electronic world come out and produce a divx dvd player? Will we even see this day, or will they just keep me waiting on the edge of my seat?

Yes I know of those players, I am talking of the sony,yamaha,denon,kenwood,onkyo,samsungs......etc.

I would rather buy a player from a lesser name than those makers,their dvd players tend to not play homemade dvd/cd`s.

Microsoft Corporation did. Well, they produced the xbox, which can be easily modded to play divx files.

Phillips dvd737, I think based on ESS vibratto chipset. Maybe you will noticethat its Mfrs who dont make dvd-burners who will come out with mpeg4 players .... 8)

I don't care if they never do. Divx quality is no better than SVCD.

The day AVI DivX becomes standardized. As it is, there simply are too many variables to play with (when producing a DivX based AVI) to make it possible to produce a player that can handle all variations. Small companies don't have a reputation to defend, so it doesn't matter to them if their player only plays 50% of all possible DivX AVI's - Sony would be sued instantly! (Not to mention that they'd rather invent their own format...)

Oh really! Have you ever made one or just going by what you've downloaded?
