hardware DivX (XviD) player will ruin my life.
 

S-Video out of my laptop was bad..
but I just picked up a new Phillips DVD player that plays MPEG-4/DivX/Xvid/AVI's and just about everything else...

couple hours of download yields four or five movies still in theaters that fit nicely on a single DVD-R at decent enough quality....

not to mention the 16x burner I just installed...

I'm in heaven.

Nice, what model/how much was it? Ive been contemplating getting one, but I usually just use tv out to the tv and its been fine looking.

DVP-642.. under $80(us)

only place I found it in stock was Best Buy (online).

got it, plugged it in, did the firmware upgrade I'd already prepared for, and it works awesome...

the remote is a little shitty and poorly laid out though.

i got a cheap ass Daytek that does all that and more straight out of the box, only thing is, it crashes if you switch tracks or video or mp3 files too quickly. Like total lockup. pisses me off. So i modded my xbox with media center on it...

Hey Truth, Im looking for Collateral... Got a hookup for me? :)

this one did it straight out of the box... the firmware upgrade was to add some support for avi subs and other minor shit...

Already on a disc : )
gonna watch it later on..

alt.binaries.divx : )

Downloading is Illegal and just wrong....But do you have the link Magg asked for?:Graucho

What program do I use to surf newsgroups? (noob warez kiddie here)

Internet Explorer : )

Easynews.com

I own 900+ DVD's.. I should be entitled to a few freebies : )

login please, ill only download collateral :Graucho

they kill accounts with multiple logins.
it's only $10 for 10 gigs.. but the web interface and global search are priceless.

After I watched a few HD movies.... well, fuck DivX.

I've been looking for a good divx/xvid player myself.. I might have to check that one out.

torrents are your friend...

:Graucho

wow... i didn't even know players supporting Divx/Xvid exister already, and at such a low price.

Sweeeeeeeet.

i never have downloaded movies using bit torrent What kind of download speeds do you get?

i get a few 'files' a month using a couple of my dedicated servers... i get 10+mbit sustained once it gets rolling.. bittorrent download spead is commensurate to your upload speed ...

Depends on how much you upload.. and if you have a router, you better know how to setup port forwarding, or you won't get very good speeds at all.

http://azureus.sourceforge.net is the bittorrent client I use and recommend.

It is illegal, but sometimes it can make your life way easier.

Wow! your new setup kickass! congrats! :thumbsup

got links to your new DVD/DivX player?

mmmm can you setup bittorent on a unix box? sounds like an idea!

Packetnews is your shopping list,
IRC is your checkout counter :)

I was thinking about buying something similar but instead I just used an old computer and made a cheap HT-PC. I just run svideo out from my video card to my TV and wham, I have a all-in-one media center. I'm going to upgrade my sound card and maybe, later on, use a old server rack to store all my music and movies but really it saved me a little bit.

hehe i just use my Modded XBOX to run all my xvid/divx/svcd/dvdr

I cannot find it on bestbuy . Can any1 post a fucking link

Since your canadian, radio shack has it online plus there free delivery.

Have fun!

900 holy shit, I thought my collection was big.

Not a bad price.. but are you sure its the right one? Doesn't say anything about xvid or divx?

dont worry yeah. good night everyone. got to go. bye

Was just going to say the same thing - with a modded Xbox and XBMC, you can transfer the XviD files (or any other media format) right over to the machine via FTP, and then play them. So no time spent burning onto CD/DVD - and you can easily delete them when you're done.

Yes, it supports DivX/XviD. I checked on videohelp.com and philips.com and both confirm it.

Thanks for the link, Vitasoy. I'm gonna pick one up this weekend.

agreed, HDTV on my 106" screen has ruined everything else for me

Yep it's the right one, you may need to upgrade the firmware though.

Np... It's a great dvd player, plays everything I through at it. Best bang for the buck too. :)

DC++ is what you want to get movies

DC++?

Nice.. I'm gonna go try and track one down tommorow. :thumbsup

He's talking about Direct Connect.. which is good, but you have to share a LOT of files for them to let you connect.
