    Hi there,

    Can someone please explain to me on how a small portable branded player play divx files, is it something to do with the VCD compatibility of the player, as i found out by accident it could do this :)

    No, nothing to do with VCD, the manufacturer of the player has to specifically build in support for Divx/Xvid.

    However since Divx/Xvid has become an increasingly important feature, most players support it nowadays, including branded players.

    Basically you give the consumer what they want.

    Thanks for that, as for the branding i put that wrong, it was a dvd player got free from Moviestar a good while back & not a well known brand like Sony, Panasonic etc.

    I found this out by accident, as someone was using the other player :D

    I've yet to see if its region-free, but i suppose that'll be hard to find (the code) Until i see.
