Branded DVD Recorder with DivX?

Options
Finding one is proving more difficult than I thought.
My girlfriend got me the Samsung DVDR119, which the Samsung website says plays DivX, however it actually doesn't.

Can anyone recommend a decent one within a budget of £140?

    Perhaps the wannabe forum is best for this, as it isnt a short lived bargain :)

    Just bought a panasonic dmres10 from john lewis online.comes with 2 year guarantee. Fantastic! Much better than the "cheap" ones I had tried.Even got a code off another thread for 10% off.
  • Cheers everybody.

    Getting a branded one proved too difficult so I went for the Tesco Technika one.
    So far so good......

    Most DivX DVD players will only play certified DivX files (i.e. ones which have been encoded using pre-defined settings). Some players are more fussy than others about how broad the settings can be.

    If your DivX file was encoded without all the certified settings then chances are that it wont play in any DivX DVD player.
