HELLO, picked up next weeks specials and they have a divx player for £29.99.
ive looked for it on the web but no pics other than leaflet in my hand.

HERE IS WHAT IT SAYS:

USB socket - connect mp3 players etc. through tv
5.1 channels and digital dolby decoder

if this helps i can ALSO see S-video, optical, Cb/Pb, Y, Cr/Pr, Coaxial connections.

Well now im going to ask is this any good I download movies with Xvid in the title. once on the computer the properties recognise them as Avi file. would this be suitable as other machines state Avi , Xvid playback or both. im interested in this Aldi one for the price and 5.1 output too.

HOPE THIS HELPS SOMEONE AND YOUR COMMENTS AND ADVICE ARE WELCOME X;)

Sounds like the same model Lidl were selling these last November for £19.99 IIRC. By and large they were very well received and I would still consider them a bargain at £29.99.

the lidl one was a 7 in 1 card reader, I got two and there brilliant well worth £30 if its the same or a similar model, came with component input as well, DVD’s look good

Yes, all DIVX players handle AVI and the xvid codec.

Many thanks CHILLPILL. Im not up on those sort of things. ive only just started burning divx to dvd. some movies take 13hrs (to burn) so this will be a great buy and good use of dvd-r space aswell

I bought one of the Targa's from Lydl at £19-00 & the model was. DP5100X.

It also has the chip that plays an Unpacked Divx (no jerking of picture) great buy.

WHAT!! 13 hours?? I'd Invest in a new DVD burner and some decent software. My 800mb downloads, convert to DVD format and burn to disc in approx 2.5 hours. straight burn about 40 mins.
