5 out of 5 stars Plays all Divx/Xvid through USB   August 15, 2008
P. SINGH (UK)
I bought this product mainly for its ability to play Divx files from USB (it saves writing them to cd/dvd), and no doubt it plays all of them with subtitles, even files bigger than 700 MB. That was the main purpose and i am more than satisfied with the performance for under 40 product.

An easy to use and an excellent DVD player. It is truly plug and play and the quality of audio and video is superb.

Plugged in the DVD player to my Sharp LCD last night and was over the moon with the result. Connected through the HDMI lead the 1080i picture and sound are just brilliant. I am a very fussy guy when it comes to my picture quality but this just blew me away. I used the region hack which was spot on...slammed in Transformers and was amazed at the sharpness, colour and incredible look of the picture. I really didn't want to have to replace my DVD collection just yet with Blu-Ray and until I can afford such an extravagance this will do more than nicely for me...I would heartily recommend upscaling DVD technology. At this price it would rude not to!!!

After a lot of looking around I went for this DVP5980, very slim but was surprised how wide it is !!!!!!!! br /One of the reasons was the USB connection and so far it has played all the AVI movies I have thrown at it, i do only use a 1gb memory stick ( formatted in FAT32 ) and i have tried MOV files on it and it does not like these, so as long as you have AVI files you should be OK. br /Regarding the upscaling picture, i tried Spiderman and was very delighted with the sharpness of the picture and improved sound, I was never expected to be blown away ( after all this is not Blu-Ray ) but overall i was very happy with the upscaling. br /The player itself is a nice looking machine but as stated eariler is a lot wider than i expected, i was after a player to match along side my Sky Plus box and this player is a good 4 or 5 inches wider than that !!! br / The reason I have knocked it on the stars is because of the remote and menu, the menu is pretty poor and can be tricky to get around, also the remote is cheap looking and doubles up on a number of functions. br / Overall if your looking for a bargain DVD player for upscaling and USB connection this a lovely player and you should get one........... br / Just remember the width !!!!!!!!!!!!
