Default Re: URGENT-> suggest divx dvd player

Hi Guys,

Buy a DVD Player which has USB input and the capability to play Divx Video from USB Drive.

Passion from Big Bazar does play Divx from 2GB pen drive but I havent been able to test with USB HDD disk.

Few thing need to keep in mind while testing the USB HDD are

- Test 3.5" with external power thats one reason some 2.5 " HDD are unable to play as DVD player USB port cant provide that much power.

- USB HDD partiton must be FAT32 and lesser than 30 GB .

Passion is definitely better but Philips is more reliable when come to Divx DVD player .In India I dont know whether we have such kind of DVD player which plays Divx from USB HDD but yes in US their is one model which is very very good.

PHILIPS DVD 5982 model :
support Divx
support Divx playback from USB HDD
support 1080p upsampling
has HDMI output
value for money $62 only
classy black finish

DVD player market has gone major revamping another one which is worth mention is
KiSS : This is CISCO ( remember LinkSYS..its them)

This has all the facility which Philps has plus support for many other audio video formats like
ogg/aac/mp4a/HD-Divx and many more
it has ethernet and Wi-Fi
this will make a network of ur laptop and dvd player..some video on ur laptop u can watch on DVD Player without doing anything..

Cons:
Only in UK
No 1080p only 1080i upscale
HDMI 1.2 instead of HDMI 1.3


Buy a DVD player which has connectivity either USB or Network or both .
