DVD player which plays DIVX and has 2 SCARTS?

I feel like im fighting a losing battle here, but ive been searching for a DVD player which has 2 SCART sockets (1 in, 1 out) and also plays DIVX files.

Does anyone know of such a DVD player for say under £100?

Wouldn't be easier to get a scart splitter ?

Probably!

However I know SCART splitters are a bit hit & miss as to whether you can get a good one that doesn't misbehave.

I was looking at the Sony NS92 as that is DIVX and has 2 SCARTS, but its £150, a bit over-budget.

Back in the day, loads of DVD players had double SCARTs, but in today's era of low cost, cut-down players, these things get pushed to the wayside I guess...

Yes but back in the day, DVD players were also alot more than Sony's current asking price so in comparison it's probably a bit of a bargain don't you think?

Just out of curiosity, why would you require a scart input on a dvd player?

I connect my PS2 through my current Sony 735, I want to replace it, but only with a player that can play DIVX.

DVD recorders tend to have two scarts. Look at LG ones, cheap, great divx playback.
