Sorry noob question.
I've recently "obtained" .avi files in DIVX format of some HD movies in 720p. These files are bout 4gb in size. Was wandering, if there is any DVD player that can play these files and output them as 720p. Coz my current Phillips DVD (old model) which can play DIVX, wont play these files coz it gives me a resolution error.
Cheers

Looks like if I wanna buy a new DVD player for this purpose, I've gotta take my 720 divx DVDR to the shop n test on the players itself to see if it works.
I did a check on Divx website on supported players, the Phlips 5986 is labeled as Ultra Divx and capable of playing 720x568 (not too sure bout the last nbrs). And a check on Philips webby, says that the 5986 is capable of playing 720p n 1080i and also Divx6 which is supposed to be Divx in HD.
Anyone that has this player care to comment..??

Anywayz, I'm gonna go to HN today n test my DVD there. Gonna see if any player is able to play the DIVX HD files, coz some internet site says the Sammy HD870 n 1080P7 is able to play these HD Dvix files.

Ok went to HN at Ikano today, did some testing with Dvix HD on some of the HDMI players there.
As per my prev post, the online review that say the Sammy HD870 n 1080P7 is able to play these files are not founded.
Tested with my DVD-R, Planet Earth 720p, only able to produce sound n no pics at all. Gets error unsupported resolution.
The other 2 Sony player that was listed in the list, I couldnt find it there as HN Ikano dont have those players there.
Tested the DVD with a few other HDMI players, the ever popular Philips 5986, JVC (duno model) and Pioneer (dunno model also). All of them fail to play the HD files. Either only sound is produced or just stuck n gives resolution error.

Well guess were stuck.
Back to more online reviews n research. I must get hold of the DVD player.

^
The ac3 which is in 5.1 remains as what I downloaded. No degrade.
Original file size is bout 2.1gb, bout 40mins, just burn via nero as UDF.

^ You can get the 980H here. It retails for $169. Got a few forumers bought from there. I'm planning to get the JVC SRDVD-100U which can play DivxHD and can stream media over ur network. Shipping to MY cost a whooping $79 via EMS and $85 via DHL.
So my player will cost RM1300+, and tax is not included yet.

Anyone knows if we were to buy the DVD player via online, what are the tax like.
Cheers
