Best DVD player for DivX/Xvid?
 
I've got a lot of movies in DivX and Xvid format and was wondering what's the best DVD player for viewing them. I'd rather watch them on my TV than on my computer.
Cheers.

a chipped xbox is by far the best xvid/divx/dvd/mpg/e.t.c 'dvd player'. Plus you can play xbox games. www.tomshardware.com did a review of some dvd players and an xbox,the xbox came out top. Might be worth having a look.

Xbox + Modchip

I'm constanty amazed by the quality of picture I get off the Xbox for DivX etc.

I encode mine with the AC3 soundtrack and have dig audio to the AV amp - so even get original sound quality. Built in network on the Xbox so grabs the divx straight off my Server / PC.

got myself a JVC player from Comet, £80 or so, does the job.

Try the transgear wireless one from Aria

will play all the above, plus link to your PC so that it acts as a library.

Hello

As above I would say the Xbox. Once modded and loaded with Media center, it's brilliant. Apparently it plays games as well.

why not splash a bit of cash and get a Pioneer dv-575

Vote for Xbox here. Even better when it's wireless to your PC for all your stored Divx/Xvid.

I'm with Boxst , Never palyed a game on my chipped Xbox after a year. cause it's ace as a media centre

King RA 08 January 2005 10:12 AM

I use my xbox alot more as a media center than a games console.

Vinesh 08 January 2005 10:36 AM

Pioneer 575a.

Better pic quality than any consoles.

BigRed 08 January 2005 11:59 AM

Got to agree with the Pioneer, got one a week ago and i'm amazed at the picture quality, £113 from richer sounds, there already multi region from there as well.

the 575 is a top machine although the mighty xbox is pretty good too
using the component cable the 575 looks simply amazing although i have a ridiculous set up that most people would consider extreme
i love films what can i say?
