DVD players with DivX

| No Comments
There is some interesting new technology in DVD players. There's MPEG4 and DivX compatibility, hard-disks, wireless ethernet, and codec-upgradeable models out there now. The wireless ethernet would mean you could stream video and audio straight from broadband, without having to have a seperate Home Theatre PC. There are some Interesting models from KISS. I recently helped my Dad buy an LG all-in-one DVD/radio/cassette/speaker system that plays DivX and Mpeg4 files along with MP3 and ASF right out of the box. Sadly it gets confused if you have mixed format ISO DVDs. If you have photos on CD that are larger than 640 X 480 pixels, then your picture flickers. You have to resize all the photos if you want a slideshow. So the LG firmware’s not too smart. However it does everything my Dad needs, and has a good sound system. It even has a timer to record radio shows onto cassette.
