Philips DVD Player —
This DVD player is just about the best thing around. I've had it for 2 years now and it still amazes me. I own a meager collection of DVDs... but what I have a LOT of is media files on my computer. I'll admit it - I'm a computer geek. I have more MP3s, JPGs, MPGs and other files than I have clothes in my wardrobe. What I was looking for when I went shopping for a DVD player was a machine that would play the few DVDs I have... and ALSO play data discs of movies, music and pictures from my computer. These days, most DVD players can do that - so it might not seem like a big deal. However, THIS player has the ability to play DivX coded files. DivX is one of the more popular compression tools around, because it keeps the quality of the video high while compressing the file to a relatively small size. Being able to play videos encoded with DivX gives this Philips DVD player a leg up on ALL other players. Plus, it's got a few other less popular (but still frequently seen!) file types under it's belt. This thing... is a monster. It plays almost anything I throw at it. Burn a disc, toss it in the player, view the vids. It really is as simple as that. As an added bonus, it plays the PAL music videos I bought at a great price a few years ago without realizing most DVD players won't play them. My previous oops is now my current joy - this DVD player plays these discs just as easily as the NTSC formatted discs. Hooray!
