Divx DVD players and HD

I have a sumvision dvd player with usb port. It upscales standard def dvds over HDMI, but i was wondering whether this (or any other model) can play HD divx.

I also have a 360 i could play divx on too, but its a bit noisy.

Ive bought an HD projector but it hasnt arrived yet or i might have a better chance of figuring it out myself!

Cheers

Hi,

99% of upscaling players wont play HD DivX. Although there are a few, at a price, that will.

The 360 will play HD DivX.

Re: Divx DVD players and HD

I had one. Picture was very nice. The menu's are very basic, very few options but the player seems to do a good job with the picture.

Sold mine partly down to me not reading the manual properly and the lack of Multi Region hack.

If one became available I would have no qualms about getting another.

They do look like flashy. And have substance.

Re: Divx DVD players and HD

I didnt read the small print regarding changing the Video ouput from PAL to NTSC. From what I can see the player does not have an AUTO select feature.

I'm afraid I have not seen any Multi Region players yet. If you do though like I said it's a great looking and very good performance player.
