Just curious. I don't own a DivX compatible player
and I don't have any issues playing "other" formats
since I live in Europe....but is a PAL DivX file still a problem
on an NTSC DVD player(one that is DivX compatible
that is) and NTSC TV?

What is your definition of a PAL AVI file?? Framerate is the only thing I could imagine.

Pretty much. But that is how the players look at it. Yes, they will, in most cases, convert the footage to output anything, but then many players can do that for DVDs as well. But many NTSC Divx players will see 25 fps, and if they are NTSC only, they won't play it.
Read my blog here.

I just gave you a list of 4 manufacturers who make multi-region players in the USA. I could also include Oppo and probably Toshiba and Sony too, but not sure about those last 2. Some individual models may not be able to be easily switched to multi-region mode and if you have a portable, all bets are off. No offense, but your impression is colored by the fact that YOUR friends and family may not know anything about this subject, but that doesn't mean that nobody does. Your friends and family may also buy uncommon DVD players. Seriously, can you even find a player made by Philips and sold in the USA that can't be made to play in multi-region mode? I don't know of any. -
