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. :grumble:

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?
7 Aug 2005, 01:35 #466
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.

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.
