Packard Bell DVD-DIVX 350

Advantages: Great visual and audio quality
Disadvantages: None

...The packard Bell DVD-DIVX 350 bring create visual and audio qualities. The DVD Player - with MP3 Playback - without Real Dolby - without Show View - with Photo CD Playback - with DivX Playback. I know you may think why do I need all of this when all I want to do is play DVD when I can pick up a cheaper one from Tesco for under £10. Well these DVD players dont offer the same quality as the more expensive DVD players. This is if you want the high quality surround sound. The cheaper dvd player may not have as long as a life the the more expensive well known brands and you could experience juttering and freezing throughout the dvd. So this is why I reccomend the Packard Bell DVD player. It is very easy to use and have many functions. Even if you dont want them, I still reccomend this for the high quality of movie you get without having to...

Review of Packard Bell DVD-DIVX 350

  DVD Player that can play DivX .avi files and more!

Advantages: Plays DivX AVI and MPEG files, Supports lots of formats, Looks good, Karaoke,
Disadvantages: DivX 3.11, 4.02 plays slightly slanted, cheap plasticy remote, Doesn't play some NTSC encoded files

...I've wanted a DVD player that was capable of playing DivX files for a while because of all my anime and por...errr....other video files..., but the players cost more than normal DVD players so resisted for a while. I've seen brands such as KISS and Yamada but later came across this DK Digital DVD-500 DivX DVD player after the prices have dropped. It only cost £41.98 (61.52 Euros) from SVP Communications (AKA Blank Disc Shop). -= The Player =- The player looks sleek with a black and silver design. Black at the front with silver at the top and bottom curving in towards each other at the middle, which I think looks really good. The player itself looks quite durable and the tray isn't flimsy like some I've seen. The LCD display shows the numbers in green and other details such as TRK, DVD, etc in red. I think it's very easy to read...

Review of DK Digital DVD-500 DivX DVD player

Packard Bell Standalone DivX Player

Advantages: Multi Functional
Disadvantages: Remote control is problematic

...What is a standalone DivX Player? Well let me start by explaining what DivX is. DivX could be described as the MP3 of video format. The DivX technology compresses video to a fraction of its original size for efficient storage on your hard drive and DVD and easy sharing online. There is also a non proprietary version out called Xvid, which is open source. Originally based on OpenDivX, XviD was started by a group of volunteer programmers after the OpenDivX source was closed. With the video format so compressed in this way, you can easily fit 5 X 1.5hr feature movies onto only one 4.7GB DVD disc. Also the quality is almost as good as a DVD. Until recently the problem with DivX and Xvid format was that the movies could only be played on your computer because there was no standalone DVD player with the DivX or Xvid codec installed...
