Thanks for the info.Personally, I'm not terribly interested in all of the bells and whistles (like internetTV and wifi capability), but if this can play a good range of video files with varying codecs, it's looking like a good buy. :)

I own the Samsung BD- C5500 and it does support Divx files,Xvid, H.264 BP/MP/HP. Excellent player for the money along with easy set-up.

Windows Media Player is the true weird player. It is not the standard, and you're fooling yourself if you think otherwise. Also, for your information, something 'playing by default in WMP' is controlled simply by the set of DirectShow codecs installed on the system - it has nothing to do with the player itself. So in 20 years, you'll still have to have the correct codecs installed, regardless of the player you decide to use. And in 20 years, if you still use WMP, something must have been very wrong with the world leading up to that. Codecs will be a thing of the past and video files (if we even still have a concept of files) will include their own coding embedded within them because storage and bandwidth limitations have disappeared. VLC is the player of choice for me currently, as it uses a set of libraries that can play literally anything, and is constantly evolving, unlike WMP. Don't trust proprietary formats and players - they won't last anyway.

Yes, my DVP5140 has played every xvid encoded .AVI file I've tried, in addition to divx encoded files.

Hi. There are various MP4 file formats. If our unit does not read or recognize the file you would like to play, we recommend converting or downloading file as a AVI, DVIX or M4V.

That always seems like what the American market has...lesser functionality than that of Europe.. DLNA would have been sweet. NO, this player will NOT play MKV. Playback from USB is ONLY mp3 or jpeg. It probably would not recognize NTSC format HD with USB. Seems to be FAT 32 memory sticks only for USB, but not sure. It won't even play Divx from dvd-r or dvd+r disks (even though my manual says it can play divx). The player itself doesn't brand the "Divx" label on it, and it's not a Divx Certified player. It claims to be able to play AVCHD, but I burned an AVCHD to dvd-r and it did not play.. It seems this is just a bluray player with possible mp3 and for sure jpeg picture play back (it does play jpeg pictures). Would it have broke their bank to add it? Talk about cheap ass corporate companies..save 4 dollars and 15 cents to not include Divx playback! Well..maybe 6 dollars and 23 cents..not sure really. :D

From everything I have read, the version being released does not support DivX. Even worse, Windows Media Player has problems converting DivX files to WMP (hopefully they improve this in WMP 11, coming out soon.) It is possible for Toshiba to upgrade the codec support via firmware updates, but out of the box, you are going to have some problems playing DivX on this.

It's a very picky player. Sometimes it does but most of the time it doesn't, and I'm not sure what the encoding requirements are to make it one of those special mp4's that will work. This player here Androset 1080P-TVBOX 1080p HD USB HDMI SD/MMC Multi TV Media Player RMVB MKV 50 (Black 1080p tv box) will though. I have both of these players and the URL I pasted is a far better player in my opinion.

It depends on the encoding of the .avi file, but in general it does play .avi files. Avi files encoded using DivX will definitely work, others are hit or miss.

I had difficulty playing MP4 files on my computer but I was able to convert them (with no loss of information) to MOV files, which play without a problem using SUPER. Only problem is that it took overnight to convert the files! I'm surprised that for a device that is supposed to be easy to use, it was so difficult to see the files.

This box is ok for what it is. It should play ur regular dixv files ok and most mp4 files. I can't remember if it plays HDTV files or not. I use a different type system now that also streams movies from netflex and other providers. My streaming box was purchased at best buy and also plays all my files as well as HDTV files. I like it a lot better than the regular media player your asking about. Take care and hope you find what ur searching for.

YES you can, It has played mp4, xvid .avi, x264 .mkv files so far for me. It has a code in it to register for protected dvix too. It is awesome, plays movies, music and pictures directly from USB thumb drive. Not sure yet what file types or codecs it won't play but it has played stuff my pc wouldn't play without a codec pack installed first.

According to the link below, DivX and XviD are not officially supported, but you may be able to play *some* DivX and/or XviD videos. http://community.insigniaproducts.com/t5/Blu-ray-and-DVD-Players/NS-WBRDVD2-Does-it-support-DivX-XviD-with-firmware-updates/td-p/37887

It plays XVid just fine...DivX Ultra rocks, I've only had a couple files not run correctly...

I've played unencrypted MP4 files with no issue. However, I do not have any DivX files so couldn't answer related to that file format.

You are doing something wrong, or there is a defect with your viewer. The viewer you have supports the following video formats: AVI, MP4 files, MPEG1/2/4 video, and MP3 audio.

The 3DPlayer currently supports the following file formats. Video: wmv, avi, mpg, mpeg, mp4, 3gp, mkv, rmvb, rm and flv. Photo: png, gif, jpg, jpeg, and bmp . Newest version of VMP supports MPO and a registered user can upgrade directly from VMP. Once VMP is launched go to "About" and tap on "update". Notes on SmartCard and USB In addition to SDHC cards (32GB max, 4GB max file size), it reads SDXC (&gt;32GB, no file size limit) and exFAT/NTFS formatted cards, e.g. with Sandisk Ultra 64GB micro-SD card (exFAT), and 2GB card formatted with NTFS. Works well for large videos from Bluray-3D. NOTE: Very large 3D movie files placed in the card root may cause a crash so place them in a folder. They will however work either way in 2D. The USB port reads 128GB USB Flash pen using an adapter. I don't know about avchd but the player is continually being updated.
