maybe not exactly the answer you're after, but - I ditched the DVD player and replaced with a chipped XBOX - Plays DVDs (multiregion) and Divx/avi ...... (oh and mpegs) - works with the remote and, therefore, doesn't need the pads plugged in.....
Just an idea,
Mark

Thanks Dunk 
Cheers Mark
I have an xbox and have been toying with getting it chipped etc etc and installing the Xbox media centre which I downloaded off the web last week in preparation...
I assume the Xbox media centre will do all what you list above? (Sorry,am a bit lacking in my 'modified' xbox skills!!
)

If you're considering chipping the xbox, I'd go that route - if you wireless network it to your PC (easily done), it'll save you 'burning' anything - simply FTP the program/film to the box.....
And, yes, my list is an xbox capabilities list.... (I have 3 such boxes, one of which I use purely for media playing (30 Gb disk fitted) and 2 for games (120 Gb Disks))
If you're not chipping, then Paul's Divx DVD player is a good choice....
Hope this helps,
Mark

I bought myself a UMAX DVX6600 that can (with firmware updated) play anything my computer can play DIVX, XVID all MPEGS 1,2,4, JPEG photo player, MP3, WMA, and is fully upgradable using a CDRW with the latest firmware in the drawer and pressing a button, therefore virtually futureproof.
Got it for £47 + vat on Aria Specials months ago.
