Which players wil let me burn Divx/QT HD samples and play them ?

Hello,

I've tried a search and also looked at a few manufacturer websites but am still confused.

My HD ready plasma arrives on Bank Holiday Monday and I can't wait to play with it. Having spent time ogling HD samples on my Xbox 360 and on the PC on medium sized LCDs I'm keen to do the same on the new big screen. My WMCE PC is in my study and frankly I can't be bothered to relocate this to the room where the plasma is going likewise my 360 is all rigged up in the games room and again I can't (read - wife won't let me !) relocate this to the main lounge for HD playback.

I don't want to spend a fortune as sooner or later I'll splash out on an HDDVD /Blu-Ray deck and I've got Sky HD on order but I'd like to do a few HD demos for family to gasp at etc. on the 42" screen in the meantime.

So my question is as follows:

Will any of the current cheapish (Tosh 350 up to Denon 1920 level) 720/1080 players let me play burned DIVX HD samples or QT H264 codec samples downloaded from my PC ?

If these players won't will networked players such as The Snazio play these codecs either via burned disc or over my wireless network ?

Many thanks to anybody who can help with a spot of advice and many apologies if this is yet another rehash of previously asked questions.

RSK
