tbh, if you don't know, you probably don't need it.

like all new tech, as soon as you find out what it is, you'll start thinking you need it, and that doesn't half hit the old bank balance.

ignorance is bliss.

anyone got a pic of this player?

I'm glad I'm not the only technophobe - bring back the old BBC computer things we had when I was at school.

I saw one the other day when I went for a High School visit with my son - the school said they only used them occasionally now - not really a good advert for the school!

You better explain "packed bitstream" for err ummm those in the forum who don't know what it is. I would explain it of course but seeing as you mentioned it first.

This is what I posted on the Asda divx player thread:

Unless it says so, assume that the player does not support Packed Bitstream. Most Xvids encoded since early 2005 have packed bitstream in them because the xvid v1 encoding software has it switched on by default.

Without PBS support, you should still be able to play the file but it would be jerky and out of sync.

I would go as far as saying that PBS support is the single most important factor in determining which divx player to buy.

could somone tell me whether this is a good player for divx and xvid as i already got a dvd recorder and looking for a decent avi player.Also would i be able to play movies stored on memory cards ( i presume they cant be divx tho). Seems a bargain considering aldi did one a while back for about £40

only problem i have read is about the subtitles, which wont be read if altered, anyone any clue on this?

Seems strange that this is available from the 12th, a Saturday. Usually they launch their offers on Mondays and Thursdays only.
