Experiencing problems with high resolution divx files: Has anyone had a problem with the dvp5140/37 playing high res divx files?

Dear C. B. Huynh, I have the same error. According to this forum here: http://forum.videohelp.com/topic335194.html this is standard since the max resolution is 720 x something. Hope this helps, Thomas

I have the same problem with my Sony BDP-s370 Bluray player. The only files Eyeconnect sees are my EyeTV files, and those stutter (would love to find a way to let them buffer a little). The rest (AVIs, MPGs, etc.) don't even show up as options...

At the same time, if you use your computer you can make a DIVX movie from your DVD then play that in this player. The region encoding affects the playing of the original DVD, but might not interfere when copying it with aftermarket software into DIVX. (or into region free DVD, for that matter)

Okay guys I got the player yesterday and had the same problem so I did some massive googling for 2 hours and found the solution:Press Display, and then use the Up and Down arrows to scroll through the different display options. When you see the timestamp go off, just let it sit there for like 4 seconds and the display will go off.I had to do this once for divx videos, and once for dvd videos and have not had a problem since.

Eli - great questions. I am wondering the same things about this player. Cracking DivX function would definitely get me to buy this item. Hopefully Leonardo will get back to you before long.

Anyone have any issues with .avi files that are over 1gb? I can fast forward through it, but when I try to play it normally, it cuts at about the 1hr 50minute mark.Thoughts?

10-4 on that divx info.There is DivX, which is a later take-off on XVID. (play on the name---inverting it) A lot of the available movies "out there" are XVID and appear to play fine on tthe Coby 7377. It's hard to tell because they almost all come "parckaged" in a dot avi file. Whats actually in there is hard to deciper- to my mind anyway. So the avi file that comes off my camera is WAY different than the avi file which contains a feature-release movie (as a DivX or XVID) But I believe that both of those popular formats will play on the unit.OK- get back to work!

Hi! I tried an a couple of .avi files, and had the same issue with only getting the sound portion on one, and nothing on the other (they had been written by different programs.) Then I tried using the DivX converter on one and it ran fine (though to be honest, the picture was pretty bad!) I haven't bought the converter software, just a 15 day free trial of it, and plan to try the Xvid freeware first. Does anyone know where to get free divX downloads?

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.

Yes, Helen. I found the solution here: http://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/forums/ShowMessage.asp?ForumID=4&MessageID=671897 Read the first post from "blink3times" and then a few posts later he explains exactly how to do it. That discussion was in April 2009. Scroll on down to January 24, 2010 to the "jasonvideodad" post where the discussion got going again and he added to the original post. By the way, I did not have all the files that were mentioned, but I made the change on the files I did have, and it has been working perfectly. Remember to backup up every one of these files before you make the changes. Please note that this is the user forum and this fix is not a recommendation by Sony. But I followed the instructions about "resetting the memory flags" and am able to render with no problems. The largest video I have rendered so far is a 6-1/2 minute video of AVCHD files with no problems. I am using Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit. The video rendered in 3-1/2 minutes. I would suggest that you read (or at least scan) through all of the posts in case there is something else that might refer to your particular situation or computer. Let me be clear that I am not recommending you do this, I am only saying that it worked for me and many others.

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.

When playing divx, do you only see the short filenames? It would be such a pleasure not to need to rename files especially for this. If not, can the files be in subdirectories?

A better question is what format will it not play. I have been able to play divx 4.x and 5.x,asi .mp4,vob,mov and .mkv 4:3&16:9 video files off of a usb on it. This is very nice if you have a lot of personal video files that you want to watch on your tv without having to do extra work converting and burning the video files to disc. I use a 1 tb external drive for storage(to play) and I have an external WD 2.5 500gb for recording with no problems. Be sure to download and install the update software first thing. Also if you are going to record from it be sure and format the drive to ntfs or you will have multiple files for each recording.(unless that is what you want) A better question is what format will it not play.

Any idea if it can play DivX files with .srt subtitles? The lack of this feature is a real limitation with the xBox 360...

I have XMBC (frodo build) installed on my EB1503 (as I use the box as a media server) it has no problems with any of the HD audio associated with video codecs (DTS & Dolby TrueHD). I've never tried streaming from an online source (as I only have DSL). My audio/video goes over HDMI to my Onkyo TX-NR608. My experience would say that it is your decoding software having problems, not the EB1503 hardware.
