avi and DivX files: Does this player play .avi and DivX movie files?
13816
It does play .avi and XviD, but not DivX. And the type of codec the file was created with can effect the video. I'd say that 80% of the avis and mpegs I've loaded work properly. Though I have seen one file not play sound, a couple files loose sync between sound and video and sometimes a file just won't play. These specific problems always happen with the specific file. Wolverine Data's website recommends (and sells I think) a software app for turning your DVDs into files that work flawlessly with the ESP

The manual says it will play back Xvid but it does not mention DivX. To be honest, I don't know anything about either of these formats. The manual has about two pages of qualifications as to what will play and what won't. The only sure way is to try it in the player.

AVI - DIVX movies seem to work fine on the Tivax HiRez7Using either a USB thumb drive or a SD card. The highest resolution that I have in AVI are 720 X 480 but they look just fine on the small 7 inch screen.It did not recognize my MP4 or MPG movies but did reconize my Divx AVI movies. The 2 small battery packs went bad almost immediately and the battery covers do not stay on by themselves - I just put a piece of scotch tape on them after I removed the batteries. The unit still works off of the AC adaptor and 12vdc auto connector.Over all a very nice portable unit as long as you do not want to use the internal powered batteries.

According to http://www.lge.com/products/model/detail/bd370.jhtml and to a CNet review, it does play divx. I think I am going to take the gamble because i want the Netflix capability.

I have only been able to play AVI and MP4 formats. I wish it played Matroska video files. Using a converter like AVS video converter can convert anything!

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

Joey -I went to the DivX website at http://www.divx.com/en/products/software/windows/divx, and I don't think it is different than the paid for version, because the trial supposedly runs out after 15 days. Also, one of the early reviewers was upset because it was a crappy quality picture. There is also something called Xvid which is completely free, which I've read in one of the reviews also works on this unit, but I haven't tried it out yet. (I'm self-employed, and if I don't work I don't get paid, so I try not to spend my entire day playing with my toys!)Heidi

When playing divx, do you only see the short filenames? It would be such a pleasure not to need to rename files especially for this. If not, can the files be in subdirectories?

Yes, it plays both file types. However, I would suggest you look further for an all region player. My experience with this was not good. The remote stopped working after only a couple of weeks of use. The player works, but without the remote it is very inconvenient. At least it was cheap.

The .srt will play along with a DivX video as long as they are both in the same folder, and named the same thing (except for the extension of course). Just press Subtitle on the remote once the video is playing and it will work.

We have used it as you are stating and it does play the major formats .avi .mp4. .mvk had some issues. I love vlc and use it as a default player on my Mac which I have a hdmi cable direct to tv. .mvk doesn't allow for subtitle selection as it's intended.

My Samsung BD-P1500 was delivered yesterday. I hooked up via ethernet cable and updated to the newest firmware. The unit can now play DIVX as I have just tested it with a movie running from a CDR.You can download to lastest firmware from the Samsung site and install via Disc, USB or online using the LAN/Ethernet port.Hope that helpsScott.

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

Hi! I tried an a couple of .avi files, and had the same issue with only getting the sound portion on one, and nothing on the other (they had been written by different programs.) Then I tried using the DivX converter on one and it ran fine (though to be honest, the picture was pretty bad!) I haven't bought the converter software, just a 15 day free trial of it, and plan to try the Xvid freeware first. Does anyone know where to get free divX downloads?

(For future purchasers) Yes, it allows AVI, MP4 and MKV (but MKV can only be played if it's renamed to MP4,oddly enough).

I just got around to making a photo D.V.D today, it does play them but make sure you use D.V.D -R media because the first D.V.D I made didn't play not sure what that one was but tried it again using D.V.D -R 16x and it worked well.
