hi, im sure divx and xvid are avi. files (someone correct me if im wrong), so any player that can play divx / xvid should do the job, i would go for a pioneer 575 for around £100... maybe cheaper now as thay have been replaced with a newer model.

can someone confirm this ? as i am only 80% sure

the 575 does an excellent job on playback of avi/mpeg files
