Best Divx/Xvid player under $100 cdn

[djmixmastah]

As title states looking for a divx/xvid dvd player with emphasis on divx/xvid capabilities. The Phillips 5140 seems to be a likely candidate but someone mentioned that the Pioneer DV-383 was also good as well. I'm looking for something with a new chipset/ will support the latest encodes and under $100 cdn which is ~$90 usd. I'm not a hardcore user but just looking for something good/cheap that will play my movies/tv shows and movies with subs.

I will go for the Pioneer or the Liteon recorder/divx player (it was $99 few weeks ago at
bestbuy) I owned the Philips before (642) it was the worst player ever from bad quality build,
freezing with retail and divx movies(it was more than heat issue), and on top of that it came with 3 months warranty so that tells you a lot about a company that doesn't stands behind their products. You can also check amazon.com and see the old reviews. the 1st thing you read Dead after 3 months. Dead after 5 months…….you may find happy owners who get ez satisfied with any low quality crap(they will post here soon ). whatever you choose. STAY AWAY FROM PHILIPS

Look at the Toshiba SD3990. $60 US. It's an excellent Divx/Xvid player.

I'll second that. I bought two, one for Living room and one for basement TV.

Has anyone done an in-depth on the Toshi? How does it handle Qpel? I was just about ready to buy the LG LD-531, when it was discontinued and replaced by the inferior LD-731.

5960 has more features than 5140.

I have been VERY pleased with my Avayon DXP-1000. Bought a refurb unit for myself as a test, and bought a new unit for a family member.

Bonus (of sorts): Has karaoke feature, although some have reported the need to disable the karaoke feature to prevent some "stuttering" of playback. I have not had this problem at all.

Agreed. I bought it for the USB port. Great feature...

Bought one as well, cant wait for it to get here. If they added a usb port it would be the best player on the market.
