HD Divx stand alone player

[leskovcanin]

Hi everybody,

I wonder if there is a stand alone Dvd/Divx player that can play Divx in HD?
And by that I mean some brand names, not some "kung foo" dvd player

what is your prediction ? when will they start manufacturing in large quantities?

When I say HD I mean true HD resolution (at least 780p) encoded movies from original blue laser or hd dvd format, not hd upconversion.

Thanks in advance.

You can jin one up from a computer or use one of these.

They all use variations of the Sigma Designs EM8620 chip.
And no they won't play HD/BD DVD.

Is there any other chipset that is possible to do that? And any other brands (philips, pioneer, sony, pansonic...)

Not yet.
