Absolutely, crystal-, -clear?
Or when you say "SVCD" you mean a standalone ###x480/576 MPEG-2 file?

The Apex-1500 plays SVCDs fine. But it's been out of production for quite a long time. To play a Divx/Xvid file, you need a Divx DVD player. And the file needs to be Divx set top compliant. Most Divx/Xvids off the net are.
If you look to the left for DVD Players, you can use Divx/Xvid playback as a search option. The cost of Divx compatible players is reasonable at present. If you want one of the best, look to the OPPO brand. Not cheap, but very good quality.
ASIDE: budz, you still have a working Apex-1500? That was a great DVD player. Too bad they didn't last too long. I loved mine. Would play about any DVD disc. And inexpensive for it's time. -

Apex ground to a halt and although they still have a website and in theory (the last time I looked) the website claimed that it was possible to mail order directly from them, they only had 1 model left. No stores that I know of carry Apex products any more. As far as I know the CEO of Apex is still in jail in China and nobody has ever made any attempt to satisfy the demands of the authorities to get him out.

I had heard he owed the equivalent of $750 Million. Built the business entirely on credit with his "uncle". These guys never figure they are doing anything wrong and then go back home for a visit and get nabbed. Seems to happen a lot in that part of the world.....

I know you didn't reply to my other thread but will you please answer my audio question in the DVD to AVI thread? I really hope you reply but you don't have too. Let me know if you want to help me or not because one of my encoding is almost done and i posted a question in that thread about audio. -
Don't forget to use only "Constant Bitrate" for the audio. Using "Variable Bitrate" for the audio will save some space, but not a lot and can cause A/V sync problems especially if you have to transcode the video for any reason like to add a subtitle to it.

128kbps and 256kbps.
