"At last, a quality DivX player that actually works."
What I like:
Plays DivX (and Xvid) at the correct aspect ratio and no jitter etc.
What I don't like:
Nothing yet
Review:
This to my knowledge is one of the only players to recognise the AVI DAR flag. So even in the event that the aspect ratio did show incorrectly it can be corrected using MPEG4Modifier in minutes. The picture quality is good and the sound is okay too. Also although not stated it plays AVI files straight off an 80GB drive (partitioned as fat32 (primary), WOW). I have tried LG and Samsung players BUT the aspect ratio is always wrong AND can't be corrected with the DAR flag. So to sum up £60 (UK) for all this is a godsend, I love it.

Well-specified and its picture quality is first-rate, but it doesn't quite sound awesome enough to justify its cost

At last, we have the awesome Blu-ray player we've so long suspected Sony was capable of making
