I just bought this for my friend's birthday gift...I am anxious to give it to him to see how this thing performs....that sonvabitch plays so many file formats AND softsubs....now he can throw way the TMPGEnc conversion software!

Hmm, seems interesting. I may jump on this player, but first I'll wait for some reviews.

Hope the remote is better than the one on my LiteOn: you practically have to throw the remote at the player to get it to work.

Don't buy LiteOn products, folks.

I'm planning to get a mac soon. Do I need to install codecs to play avi and other video files or will VLC do?

VLC and MplayerOSX2 will play just about everything out of the box, even some corrupted video files.
i have the latest DiVX package installed just in case.

does anyone knows of a portable dvd player that can handle divx/avi files?

sorry, man, i don't know. it might be worth a shot to e-mail their corporate office....located in mountain view, california....i know i purchased the standalone oppo digital dvd player that attaches to your t.v. for a friend as a gift...and he said it works like a dream...in fact i've seen it myself at his house and it does play divx and xvid encoded files quite well.

searching videohelp.com gives me...

no worries...i just remember him saying he normally uses a phillips player so....just trying to save you from further searches in that direction.

i just stumbled upon it looking for bulk DVD-R's, and remembered someone asking for a divx player... i just forgot the portable part
