    I was attracted to purchase this DVD player a while ago for its DivX capabilities (something not too many players have).

Before, the process took me more than 2 hours or transcoding and adding the subtitles to the dvd format. www.artistas-americanos.com

This is a great DVD player for anyone looking to see what all the fuss is about HD DVDs with out having to pay the prices for an HD DVD player and the associated discs. Or for anyone with a large collection of home ... more
