MediaTek make several difference version of the chip so if you player is having issues it would be worth finding out which chip it has compared to the big brands like Philips / Toshiba / Pioneer.

The Philips DVP630 is a older generation player with the ESS chip, not as capable in divx terms as the Tosh 340, Philips 720, Pioneer 470.

The Samsung 244 use the new Zoran Vaddis chip, its meant to be quite good/

"for Divx playback and on the newest titles I have tried it just stutters the playback" this is probably caused by a the way the film is encoded and no hardware player will fix it. Find out the codec version used, gmc ? qpel ? packed bitsteam ? Then you can reencode taking without those options as no player really deal with these options too well. Some will do GMC and QPEL to a certain level but packet bitstream is more likely to be the issue for you.
