If you are looking for a DVD player possibly as replacement or just want something just plain cheap to play your DVD's, then this is not for you. This DVD player not just plays DVDs but also plays Divx discs. Which are supposed to be more storage per movie efficient for example, a typical DVD may store probably about 2-3 movies per disc while on the other hand an Divx disc can store possibly 4 to even 5 movies per disc!
Although there is a cost to this extra piece of functionality, for some reason DVD players that have incorporated playback of the Divx are about two times expensive than those that don't. To even downplay this functionality even more, most DVD discs don't come with Divx anyway.
So why spend more? Well there isn't much reason to, unless you want a "flash" looking player just knowing it has the extra ability to play Divx. The player itself is made out of thin metal, although it does feel quite sturdy .
