mutilple format movie player..

hi guys, can u suggest me a standalone movie player wich plays mp3,cd,acd,dvd,xvid,divx formats? digit had rated a player from mitashi, but cant find d details nemore. other suggestions welcome. also if u own one, tell me abt ur experience. r they widin 5k?

try vlc player or install klite mega codec pack

Use VLC media player. you can d/l it from *www.videolan.org/mirror.php?mirror=*downloads.videolan.org/pub/videolan/&file=vlc/0.8.5/win32/vlc-0.8.5-win32.exe

VLC is the answer.

He wants a standaloe player, not a computer "media player".
I am using the Ondia DVD player currently. Its good, plays scratched DVDs to an acceptable degree and hasnt broken down ever.
i suggest you get the DVD rercorder from sansui [or was it samsung?]. Just saw it in vijay sales. It can record TV programs effortlessly directly on DVD media, without any hassels. It costs 11K andis avialable in black and silver.

Philips also has a good range of players.

thnx guys 4 ur replies, but can u tell abt sum specific model? n does philips/onida support the above formats?

vlc player is the answer.

lol , standalone movie player. I thot some computer app .

btw , My friend has a philips player which plays the above mentioned formats , it cost him rs 4500/- last year , i guess its down to 3600/- this year at the time of diwali.

Guys he is asking for a standalone DVD player!!!!!
Buy a Philips DVD Player. I have one too, it can play VCD/DVD, Photo CD (JPEG), MP3.
You can checkout new models of Philips DVD Player that can play DivX, xVid etc.,
Go for Philips, best quality, reasonable price, very good after sales service.
I'm using Philips DVD Player for the last 3 years without any problems.

in my knowlege, there are DVD players easily available supporting those, except xvid, now I'm not sure if such players are out....... but u'll get divx players easy around.

Phillips DVP 642K is cheap. It plays Divx too , (Divx with GMC, QPel not supported). Unlike most new models it works well with packed bitstream and Divx 3.11.

Please... he wants HARDWARE, not SOFTWARE

Sab log.. VLC.. VLC... kehte jaa rahe ho, but no one's looking into his real prob...

Ok... ur best options lie in Philips range, impressive Divx players, reads a wide variety of Divx formats, also reads dvd, mp3, video, audio cds, incl. DVD/CD-RW ones. Also reads DivX ultra(which could include even subtitles)

The latest DVP5965K (cost 6k) has karaoke & video upscaling (better quality picture) with HDMI connection.

Product Specs Sheet here

i rank VLC player as number one..

one more is too good but takes more resource and that is the player which shipps with NERO 7.. it can play any file and user interface is coool

Use media player classic...it can play all formats includin .mov ,.rm

thnx every1 for ur replies, so it seems that the philips range is the best bet n also "Media Player Classic+VLC". but wat abt xvid format? i find it better than divx.

He wants a hardware player not software for the PC. Aren't you people reading the posts before writing anything.

Nowadays in the market we generally find DivX Players but even then some of them have encoding issues making them unable to play some movies encoded with DivX v 6

Regarding XviD,I am damn sure
there is not a single standalone hardware player in the world market
supporting XviD Codec

My friend owns a Phillips Slimline DVD/DivX Player
He has no issues playing DivX Videos but none of the movies encoded in XviD Codec plays in his Player

D

That's really sad considering most movies and TV shows on the net are encoded in XviD.

I think the such single(!) player is owned by my friend which plays xvid , i think jguru here has the same player , wait for his confirmation.

this is from wikipedia

XviD is a free and open source MPEG-4 video codec. XviD was created by a group of volunteer programmers after the OpenDivX source was closed in July 2001.
XviD encoded files can be written to a CD or DVD and played in a DivX compatible DVD player, as long as they are not encoded using features unsupported by DivX (e.g. three warppoints instead of one), since such features are not considered "MPEG-4 compliant" by DivX.

If thats the case,then why are they not mentioning it under Compatible Codecs List
In the website which you have mentioned above,the supporting Codecs are mentioned as DivX 3.11,DivX 5.X,DivX 6.X but nowhere i can find XviD Codec Supported sign

Am not trying to be argumentative,but seriously one of my friends has a Phillips Standalone DVD/DivX Player which plays movies encoded with DivX 3.11/DivX 5.X and DivX 6.X,but the moment you insert aXXo Rips or for that fact any video encoded with XviD Codec,it doesnt get detected

sure i will post the product code of the Philips Dvd player my friend has. will enlighten u for sure
