honestly you may consider another option... spend less money than you would on a blu-ray player and build a barebones PC specifically to play computer formats via the TV, using a DVI-to-HDMI cable. I have one of these set up and it works very well... so when i get a blu-ray player i am only worrying about its use as a blu-ray player specifically.not feasible for everyone, i know, but something to consider.

I just spent some time researching this very issue. The only options I found were the Panasonic DMP-DB55 (but not the DB35!) and the Philips BDP7200.Of the two, the Philips is much less expensive (at least right now).

It depends on the encoding of the .avi file, but in general it does play .avi files. Avi files encoded using DivX will definitely work, others are hit or miss.

Clarification-A. The blu ray is a 3D player.B. Is it better to: (1) Hook the DVD player to the receiver and then the TV to the receiver (i.e., everything running through the receiver), or (2) Hook the DVD player to the TV and then the TV to the receiver, or (3) some other better quality configuration?

My SD DVDs didn't look good on this player. My Blu-ray discs look spectacular! For upconverting SD DVDs look for a factory refurbished ( cheaper ) Toshiba XA2 player. The best for upconverting.

I will buy a dual format player as I have about 60 movies on each format. At the moment I think that my preferred format will not survive. I have no intention of selling my HD DVD library, and I would like to buy more movies that are currently available that I have not yet bought. Universal and Paramount will decide whether I buy those titles on HD DVD or Blu-ray. I don't want to continue to use my PS3 to watch movies. This player will also make a nice secondary HD DVD player. I hope that Samsung and LG decide not to pull the rug out from under dual format players because of Warner Brothers decision. I will buy a dual format player as I have about 60 movies on each format.

The manual says it will play back Xvid but it does not mention DivX. To be honest, I don't know anything about either of these formats. The manual has about two pages of qualifications as to what will play and what won't. The only sure way is to try it in the player.

These players are originally region one. They are actually then modified to be region free by a third part or by the seller. If done correctly they player would be working 100% perfect and there would be no loss in picture quality. It will be up to par as expected. However you must check the sellers background, see how long they have been around and if you can contact them after the sale by phone for support. Most legitamite companies have been around for years I've seen some for 2-3 decades. I did a search on google for region free blu-ray player and purchased mine. It's works great. I had a snag with one disc, and the company sent me some software to fix it very quickly. These players are originally region one.

This player cannot play movies through ethernet (NO DLNA support for the American version of this player!!). That always seems like what the American market has...lesser functionality than that of Europe.. DLNA would have been sweet. This player will NOT play MKV. Playback from USB is ONLY mp3 or jpeg. It probably would not recognize NTSC format HD with their USB port. Seems to be FAT 32 memory sticks only for USB, but not sure. It won't even play Divx from dvd-r or dvd+r disks (even though my manual says it can play divx). The player itself doesn't brand the "Divx" label on it, and it's not a Divx Certified player. It claims to be able to play AVCHD, but I burned an AVCHD movie to dvd-r and it did not play. LG BD570 bluray player is sweet. It can play bluray movies real good, can play mkv, divx, and I think divxHD too. It has built in wireless, with hard wired ethernet too, with DLNA support. It can have an external hard drive connected to it's USB port (NTSC format I think, not FAT32) and play mkv, divx from it. I think it does AVCHD movies too. No 3D, but who the hell cares..Like I wanna wear glasses tp watch TV and poke bubbles from the air..

what do you exactly mean? you can put on it any divx, avi, mpeg, quictime movie, mpeg 4 or any kind of movie on the special software it brings and then it transformers it to the kind it can be seen on the device, look at the pictures i'll upload on amazon on 13/02/07

Thanks. I've done all that with no results. My last resort is to test the player with a few other Blu-Ray discs. If they play with no problem, I'll return this set to Amazon and ask for another one.

Thanks. I always wanted a Delorean--wouldn't have guessed it would come in this format, or via Amazon!My (older, though HD) tv does have component outputs, which I currently use. But if what you say is correct for this and other blu-ray players, it doesn't seem to make much sense to purchase a blu-ray player (I have a large collection of standard DVDs, including lots of Criterion Collection, which would benefit from upconversion; I'm not much for the blow it up movies that have so far dominated blu-ray production) unless and until we replace our tv with one equipped with HDMI inputs. That day will eventually come, but maybe not so soon. Thanks.

If it won't play DIVX files.....Download a program called "FourC Codec Changer" from the web.. Install the program and open. Next open the DIVX file you want to play in the program. In the "four cc description" box it will show the DIVX codec. Next in the "Four cc Used box" change that to .xvid. Now choose "apply" and exit.....Now it will play when you put it back in the USB port!

My Samsung BD-P1500 was delivered yesterday. I hooked up via ethernet cable and updated to the newest firmware. The unit can now play DIVX as I have just tested it with a movie running from a CDR.You can download to lastest firmware from the Samsung site and install via Disc, USB or online using the LAN/Ethernet port.Hope that helpsScott.

Hi, always, as a general rule, to view the 3D effect it is required a 3D capable TV, if you use a 3D Blu Ray movie with a non-3D TV you will only see a normal 2D Blu-Ray. So to answer your two questions, yes and yes. As a final comment, I don't recommend this player, look for Sony.

I've played unencrypted MP4 files with no issue. However, I do not have any DivX files so couldn't answer related to that file format.
