    Was looking at this selection of Divx DVD players from pixmania

    I'm looking for something that plays the following :
    DVD, DivX(all versions), Xvid, DVD-R/RW, DVD+R, CD-R/RW, VCD, SVCD, MPEG4, MP3, CD JPEG plus Ogg Vorbis as well as playing MP3 DVDs.

    ie... play divx from DVD+-R discs and CDR discs

    Is there anywhere else that sells them ?
    (If not european, maybe some USA site as euro currency is strong at moment :)..)

    (None of the sites in the sticky thread sells them !)

    screw all that mate-
    you need a modded xbox, you can play all that and do so much more, they play all media, you can store files on the harddrive, you can adjust the video shape to suit the screen, you can adjust the audio to match with the video.

    I got the Kiss DP450 a while back. It plays all physical formats of DVD and CD, and is now up to DivX 5. They release firmware updates now and again. Last one was to allow FF of DivX. The unit is a little temperamental with cheap DVD-R and sometimes refuses to play. Also needs restarting occasionally to allow it to clear internal confusion.

    The DP500 is the same unit with Ethernet connection. You can connect your PC or network and play DivX without cutting to media. As far as I have found, it supports all of your wish list of file types.

    The DP1000 is fairly new and looks nice, and has similar function to the DP500, but smaller.

    I got mine at Scan in the UK: http://www.scan.co.uk/stores/kiss/kissoffers.htm

    Do you know anything about the Sigmatek unit? It's new to me.
