Will the Oppo BDP-80 play DivX from disc or USB drive? Will the Oppo BDP-80 play DivX from disc or USB drive?

It will play most all AVI files from either disc or USB drive. You can even plug in 2 USB drives and pick between them from the on screen display. I have found the BDP-80 to be my best player when it comes to DivX and Xvid formats. The FF is very smooth and playback is very snappy, plus load times are fast as well. Except for HD DVD discs, this thing can play every format I own. I don't think you will be disappointed with it.

I've always used my BDP-83 for HD audio, also called lossless audio - Dolby TrueHD, DTS-Master Audio, and PCM. You can only get 5.1 HD/lossless audio with an HDMI connection to a receiver. The problem with attaching a hard drive via USB is that the BDP-83 only supports FAT32 format, used in DOS & Win95, and limits file size to a maximum of 4GB, you'd have to break HD direct into a bunch of 4GB files. Also the hard drive needs to have its own power supply, the electrical current in a USB connection is only enough for USB flash/"Thumb" drives. The newer Oppo models support NTFS, which has pretty much unlimited file size. Cheers

Buy a divx dvd player. The Philips DVP5960 can play divx files right from a usb drive.

It plays automatically any dvd of any region (1 to 6). Regarding the system (NTSC or PAL) it does the same. You only have to choose (from the remote) what kind of tv you have (NTSC or PAL) and OPPO converts the signal. I have losts of dvds, region 1, 4 and 2, some of them are PAL. It works perfect with each and everyone!

You might want to look at the Oppo 83SE. This unit has special electronics for 2 channel stereo. This unit will also play just about any type of disc. Check out the review at hometheatermag.com.

I just tested it. Yes, it does. Albeit choppier than my Oppo DV-981HD DVD player.

I don't know what programs you have tried, but use the LG software first to make the BD readable and playable, then you need to use a blue ray playing program such as Roxio or Power DVD etc.

I'm very very disappointed. My Oppo BDP-80 just arrived, and I can't get it to play any Region 2 DVDs from Europe. I must have misunderstood the "universal" aspect of this player because the sole reason I bought it was to play both Region 1 and Region 2 DVDs. I am not technically-savvy enough to open and start picking at the circuitboards to make it region free. If someone has a very easy fix to make it region-free, please let me know. Otherwise I"m sending this item back to Amazon.

I agree with Weld Tech on this.The BD65 is a nice, solid BluRay DISC player, but it has a serious omission with the lack of being able to play files such as DIVX - which is a basic staple in today's market!Since I have had 2 older DVD players which were capable of playing DIVX from disc and/or USB, I never imagined this updated player -- which boasts USB and SD inputs -- would lack basic DIVX capability.This might not be an issue for some, but it would have been a deal-breaker for me. It also greatly reduces the value of this player and makes me question Panasonic products, now.

I'm sure this is a dumb question. But...I'm looking for the appropriate SD player from Oppo. I'm still working with a 63" Toshi rear projection which has only component inputs. Would the 983 be wasted on that set-up? How 'bout the 980?Thanks!

I have a DVP642 and have never had a problem playing DiVX from DVDs. Maybe you just had a bad burn.

I have owned an Oppo upconverting DVD player for several years. It does a wonderful job improving the quality of my standard DVD movie disks. But a $500.00 Oppo Blu_Ray player? I have a big problem with that. Can we really SEE the difference in a Blu_Ray movie played on an Oppo machine versus a player costing half the price. I cannot say, but I personally doubt it. I'd really like someone to explain this (in non-tech terms) to me.

I got my BD-P2500 today. They first thing I tried was to upgrade with BD-P2550 firmware. I tried both CD and USB methods. Unfortunately the player is clever enough to know it's being upgraded with the wrong firmware. Upgrading with the correct BD-P2500 firmware worked fine.Too bad. So sad.

It does play Blu-ray Disc (BD). I always discard bundled software because they are all bloat/ads-ware offering what I don't want & need. Download no-charge VLC Media Player, and it plays BD movies great!Windows Media Player also plays BD movies, but I much more prefer VLC Media Player.

I hear the Oppo is a great DVD player (although I do not have one myself). There are several models and I think you can find them here at Amazon quite easily. They are standard DVD players (not HD DVD or blu-ray) who do up-conversion of your DVDs to 1080p.The up-conversion on the Toshiba HD DVD players are also regarded as being among the best (if not the best)... but the DVD playing is region locked. Try the Oppo, then.Also, Onkyo announced their first HD DVD player due next Fall. It will probably be the best HD player on the market by then. However, I'm not sure if the DVD playing will be region locked or not. I hear the Oppo is a great DVD player (although I do not have one myself).

Yeah, in my case, I know it isn't a firmware issue. At this point, my player no longer reads/plays any discs at all. It is pretty much dead in the water for discs. It can still do online stuff, but I have a 360 for that. I talked to LG and they suggest sending it in for repairs, but I've read nothing but negative comments from people who have tried that route. Thanks for the help with the Oppo. It might be the way to go. If anyone else wants to add their 2 cents, I'd appreciate it.
