i am currently using the LG DV298H DVD player which supports HDMI 1080i upscaling and USB input.. it can play divx movies + .srt subtitle files.. the only major flaw i see in this player is it takes ages to load an avi movie file..

i'm thinking of getting the philips DVP5996K.. is there any users of this philips player which could share your experience of the player? how is the loading time? how bout subtitle support? max thumbdrive size it could support?

any other players u guys could recommed for a below RM400 price tag?

thanks for any info.

Current LG


Philips

i just browsed pioneer malaysia website and i cant locate 'dv410' dvd player..
but i did find DV-410V-S(-K).. is this the player you are referring to?
does it support external subtitle file loading from the usb drive?

how can u say cannot bro??
i currently OWN the 298H and i've been watching the latest torrents movies and us tv series downloaded from the net..

between the pioneer and philips which loads divx movies stored on usb drive faster? which player renders the subtitle nicer?

hope u can share some info.. i am looking at this 2 player and havent decide which to buy..

tq!

could be brand related.. i am using LG too.. when i play movies from my usb thumbdrive it jerks badly on some scenes.. i even tried playing those movies on one of the fastest USB drives in the world (read Corsair Flash Voyager GT) but it still jerks..

whoever looking for dvd player that can play divx movies from usb drive and outputs tru hdmi 1080i upscaling, get either pioneer or philips.. dont buy LG! LG takes ages to load the movie from thumbdrive and on some scenes it jerks!!..

my boss sent me a small package from Pittsburgh US to Petaling Jaya using UPS most expensive parcel service..

it reached me in record time, about 24 hours..

i am selling my LG dvd player..
looking to upgrade to philips 5996k or pioneer dv410..
both supports .srt external subtitle files right?
and between these 2, which displays the subtitle more nicely?

i am asking cos i own a cap ayam dvd player that supports .srt but it displays the subtitle badly, the words are small and the default font is uses is times new roman!!

you guys not interested in WDTV or some other media players?
