Check out the Philips DVP-642. You can buy it brand new at Wal-Mart for $59.99 although most places like Target sell it for 10 bucks more. I just picked mine up about 3 weeks back. Plays anything you download off the internet. Divx, Xvid, etc. The only thing it WILL NOT play is Qpel encoded Divx\Xvid files although most shit you download isn't going to be encoded with this lame ass method. I recently downloaded the entire 2nd season of Carnivale, put it on a single DVD-R, and have been watching through the season on my new player.

But in the real word, its useless except "maybe" the PS3... and even the upconversion your speaking of is simply taking a inferior feed and upsampling it to 1080p, its not better. Its like taking a picture and stretching it.

true...

But when something truely has 2 million pixles, vs the standard one million pixels....(1080i)

From you're chatter, you have yet to mention that you've actaully seen one up close. There is a difference to be seen....it has to been seen to be belived. And no, its not just on paper.

To bring it up again I'm willing to bet that you're dvd player is progressive scan, and not interlaced....(check the back, component connections? then its progressive)

you're right its an upconvert. BUT GO LOOK AT ONE, and don't argue with me. Cuz I sell the dam things i have to see them everyday. I know the technololgy like the back of my hand. and for people reading this, no I can't you a discount.

i ended up buying an LG LDA-530

http://www.videohelp.com/dvdplayers...&Search=Search&

the only negative stuff is the VERY SMALL subtitle size when playing xvids and the grey font behind them

wouldnt that be determined by the divx file rather than the player if the subs are embedded?

the problem is not the sub file, i eventually had to upgrade the firmware (unofficial one that voids the warranty but fuck it no more annoying gray background)

i bought this $120 LiteOn DVD Recorder for the family and found out it supports up to divx6. So I "borrowed" Kill Bill, and through hours of fascination, I found out about a "fake" divx distributed from Microsoft. So, countless burned dvd's later, i re-encoded them and boom, it worked. Even so, it wasn't worth the work, i should've just watched it on the computer
