I bought this one from Richersounds. Has played every single DivX and Xvid I've thrown at it. Only cost €90.

power city have a philips one for 60 euros. seems to be ok.

slave1 · 28-03-2006 07:29PM

I would recommend this one from Pixmania

good reviews and as I was buying some bits n bobs the P+P wasnt too much extra

johnnyboy4711 · 28-03-2006 09:54PM

any idea?

Well, it does say:
Integrated Audio Decoder DTS compatible and Dolby Digital 5.1

It says Zone2 so dunno if it's Multiregion though..

slave1 · 29-03-2006 10:37AM

if the multiregion q is in relation to the dx-3255, dvdrhelp gives the crack

Saw this in Maplin today-might be of interest: Chili DVD 7200X CU for 82.50. DVD/MP4/DivX player with 5.1 sound. It also has a port for various memory cards and a USB memory stick (spec'd at USB1.1). Has anyone else bought one? Searched around the net, but didn't find much, except this- http://www.3wisemonkeys.co.uk/proddet.jsp?id=1398&cat=5

markyboy · 29-03-2006 07:42PM

I had a Yamada branded player and it worked fine. Grand and quiet and worth a punt for the cost. (As well as that if you squint your eyes you can pretend it says Yamaha!)

i've found it for €50 inc postage at http://www.usefulsound.de/index.php?idcat=32&artikel=UMA++DVD-7200XCU&page=1. it helps if you can understand german

bizzarely the player's price dropped from €46.44 to €31.44 before postage when i registered an irish delivery address, so the total inc postage is the same as getting it delivered to germany. i haven't paypalled them the money just yet, i'm waiting to see if i get an email tomorrow morning to say there's been a mistake!

looking at http://www.dvdboard.de/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=123 the player seems to get good reviews. there's a detailed review of a very similar player at http://www.dv-rec.de/test/player2005/chili305/chili305.htm and the multiregion code given on that is supposed to work on this player too

TempestSabre · 29-03-2006 11:09PM

The PYE DVD recorder thats €119 in Power City plays DivX's.

robcon · 30-03-2006 12:14AM

good stuff carrotcake! let us know how you get on with that one. cheers dude

carrotcake · 30-03-2006 09:25AM

no complaints, so i sent the money just now. they say on the site that the player will we available in around 3 days, i just have to sit tight!

carrotcake · 30-03-2006 01:30PM

i ended up having to pay the rest, plus extra for using paypal. still worked out €14 cheaper than maplins tho

Doodlebug · 30-03-2006 05:24PM

Carrotcake, my German is about as good as my Swahili

...
Do you know if the Chili DVD/DivX player can play straight from the USB stick? A 4GB stick from Komplett & I'd be laughin - no more having to burn DVDs!

To be honest I wouldn't mind payin the Maplin price to be able to bring it home & plug it in (& return it in case there was a problem!).

carrotcake · 30-03-2006 05:58PM

there doesn't seem to be any problems with them. but going by the reports on external hard drives, they must use the fat32 file system. or at least have a fat32 primary partition

johnnyboy4711 · 30-03-2006 08:10PM

went to website but my german is non existant so could u do me a wee step by step plz,mate!

robcon · 30-03-2006 08:44PM

@doodlebug: just posted a question on the maplin page to see if it will play divx files from the usb port so lets see how long it takes for a response! i reckon a couple of wks!

saps
i thought i saw it somewhere though that it was just for jpegs etc so don't get your hopes up dude.

@johnnyboy: you can use babelfish to translate the page or part of. its not perfect but still usually pretty helpful. http://world.altavista.com/

ok, here's some (what i thought would be) quick instructions.

go to http://www.usefulsound.de/index.php?idcat=32&artikel=UMA++DVD-7200XCU&page=1 and click on the shopping cart icon beside the price to add it.

in the top-right you'll then see a shopping cart icon with '1 Produkte!' written beside it. click on the 'Zum Warenkorb >>' link just underneath.

the next page shows you the player price (46,44 €) plus postage within germany (3,99 €). this will be recalulated when you say you're in ireland. (irish postage is €18.99.) click the radio button beside 'Ich habe die AGB gelesen und erkenne sie an' (i've read the terms & conditions

) and click 'bestellung ausfuhren!' (confirm order).

now you've got the form to enter your details. leave 'Benutzername' and 'Passwort' at the top blank. they're for existing customers. i'll give the translations of what you need...
Anrede: title
Herr/Frau: Mr/Mrs
Username: Username (Bitte selbst wählen!: Please choose yourself)
Vorname / Firma: first name / company
Nachname / Firmierung: last name
Passwort: password
Geburtsdatum (tt.mm.jjjj): date of birth (dd.mm.yyyy)
Strasse: street
PLZ: post code
Land: country
Ort: city

the button to hit then is 'bestellen' (order). there's no confirmation screen, the order goes straight through and you'll get an email and confirmation screen saying how to pay by paypal or bank transfer. the company is charged a paypal fee, which they pass onto you, but is not given in the total price so you'll have to ask them. this is the important stuff in the email...

carrotcake · 06-04-2006 09:28AM

yygaurav · 06-04-2006 02:17PM

Hi All

AB03 · 06-04-2006 04:27PM

Couldnt be bothered reading thru all the above posts so dunno if its been mentioned, but the avious divx player for 50 squid in power city is the cheese.
HD output, sub + phono outs for speakers, plays everything i threw at it etc...
Brilliant buy, looks good aswell.
The model is DV3049DX I think, but there is NOTHING about it online, whatsoever.
