I've decided to buy a DVD player that plays DivX and similar or related formats just in case. But there are so many websites, brands, DVD players, technical details and conflicting product reviews that I haven't been able to make a decision. Here's some info:

TV: Standard. It's nothing special so I don't need a super expensive DVD player to go along with it.

Budget: Up to $150 USD.

Will be used for: Playing .avi/DivX.

What's important: Reliability and longetivity. Perfect picture, perfect sound. Minimal bad reviews. Not prone to needing firmware updates or troubleshooters. A good remote.

What isn't important: Bells and whistles.

Anyone buy their DivX player because of reasons like mine? Got any suggestions?

I have the phillips dvp 5140 that is discussed in a thread in this forum. Got it a Wal-Mat for $49 and it has played all the avi's I have thrown in it, just burn them as data cd's or dvd's. The remote seems to lag a bit between button push and the player doing what you are telling it to but it isn't a big deal to me. Check out the thread devoted to this DivX dvd player, I think it will provide you with all the info you are looking for.

Thank you. Seems like Philips are popular. Does yours ever have out of sync audio?
