Divx DVD player

I'm thinking of buying a cheapo DVD/DivX player for when i work away, any suggestions?

Also do you just burn the avi as data disc and can you add chapters?

If you don't mind putting in a little bit more effort, get a second hand xbox (original, not 360) soft mod it (buy an action replay and a copy of splinter cell, spend 5 minutes doing the piss easy crack, then sell them back on to someone else) and install XBMC which is hands down better than any divx dvd player you'll buy in a store.

phillips p-642. i got one for $40 a while back and never looked back. burn a data cd or dvd and watch all titles. the only codec it doesn't work with is QPEL, which most folks don't use anymore anyways.

You looking for a portable?

Philips has portable I've seen at CostCo that allows you to throw in your ipod, and SD disk, or even a USB drive (likely flash only).

Forgot the model.... but was impressed nonetheless.

Philips 5960/37 or the newer model which I can't remember the # of. I saw it around town this week for $59.

I own two, has USB for removable stuff and plays pretty much everything.

i have a brand new modded xbox 1 for sale, i only took it out of the box to softmod and install XBMC, it's still wrapped in the original plastic, also got a receipt with it. PM me if you're interested.

The XBOX is about as portable as a concrete block. (I'll be working abroad and need to take it on a plane)

I'm just looking for a small DVD/Divx player i can plug into a TV.

I'll check out the Philips ones.

Cheers

If concrete blocks are so unportable, why do so many get thrown through my windows huh? HUH?

OK, point taken. It's a shame MS never did a Sony and redesigned the original Xbox after a few years, I'm sure they could slim it down a ton now.
