The Sony does not play DivX or any file formats; just CD, DVD, DVD+/-R/RW discs, and only Region 1 NTSC.

Yes, it plays regular DVDs just fine, Though I have lots of issues with this model when it comes to playing Blue-rays. I would recommend a different player.

I do not know if it will play these disks. I have never tried to play any type of audio disc on it, only out of region DVDs is all I use it for.

It plays HD video from YouTube. The picture looks compressed some, looking similar to the HD video that you would get from Amazon VOD or Qriocity VOD.

YES you can, It has played mp4, xvid .avi, x264 .mkv files so far for me. It has a code in it to register for protected dvix too. It is awesome, plays movies, music and pictures directly from USB thumb drive. Not sure yet what file types or codecs it won't play but it has played stuff my pc wouldn't play without a codec pack installed first.

The manual says it will not play DivX (or MP3 or WMA). I don't know about the other formats.

Mine will play most dvd's. I've noticed that it will not play foreign made dvd's regardless of whether they are region 1 or region 0.

It plays DVDs but I haven't burn CDs or DVDs yet. The machine I got comes with XP operating system with Roxio CD burning software. I hope that helps.

(For future purchasers) Yes, it allows AVI, MP4 and MKV (but MKV can only be played if it's renamed to MP4,oddly enough).

it only plays Windows media player files and avi, most of my downloads like Mp4 don't play on it but play with VLC on my computer.

I'm pretty certain it does. I used to plug an external hard drive into it and play movies from there but I don't really remember what types of files they were. It should say in the manual somewhere though, and usually those manuals are available online for free.

It plays DVDs like any other DVD player. Just switch it to the DVD setting rather than the hard drive setting
