Just got a newsletter from Divx at this time they are backing these players that play Blu-ray and DivX videos {if DivX it means XviD also}

so If you have one of these we can play almost anything on our HD TV's

from Panasonic (Model: DMP-BD30EE), Philips (Model: BDP7200) and Denon (Models: DVD-2500BTC1B, DVD-3800BDC1B, DVD-3800BDSP and DVD-2500BTSP).

and Sony PLAYSTATION® 3


they also add

Thanks to the superior compression and high visual quality of the DivX format, consumers can take advantage of Blu-ray technology to store and playback over 25 hours of DVD-quality video on a single Blu-ray disc.

I'm truly loving this announcement. This was why i never bought HD/BR before. I was waiting to be able to replace my existing machine with one that would still play everything I currently do, plus the new media.


Now we have already started looking into acquiring the Philips BDP7200.

Can any of the above machines play a HD rip of the kind often found on the internet without having to completely reauthor the file structure? I'm thinking in particular of those HD movie rips which are often labelled "Blu Ray" but their file structure is anything but.

Check out some of these prices.

Guess I'll be sticking with my old friend Philips.


The newly certified six include Panasonic DMP-BD30EE, Philips BDP7200 and Denon's DVD-2500BTC1B, DVD-3800BDC1B, DVD-3800BDSP and DVD-2500BTSP. All of the players are capable of playing Blu-ray discs, DVDs and DivX video. At least none of the Philips' or Denon's models can play DivX files from Blu-ray discs, but all of them support several subtitle file formats, including .SRT, .sub and .SSA. All of the players also support DivX VOD-technology, which allows the playback of some DivX video with DRM protection.

The prices of the players vary a lot. You can buy the Philips BDP7200 for $349, but for example the Denon DVD-2500BTC1B retails for $1,000 and DVD-3800BDC1B for $2,000.HDTV Magazine
