Hi,
Is there any Stand Alone DVD player available in Indian Market which can play DivX and XVid movies beside the normal CD/DVD disks?

Philips has a model which can play DivX movies. Godrej is recently advertising a model which can play DivX/XVid. There are lots of chinese unbranded products which can play MPEG1/MPEG2/JPEG/DVD MP3/Windows files alongwith DivX/XVid also. These models are less costly but requires a bit of your luck to run uninterruptedly. DivX model for Sony is also available. Please search at their website.

Thanks nil.
I would not go for an unbranded one.
Do Philips or Sony have players which can play both DivX and XVid?
Well I would prefer to stay away from Godrej. There Almirahs are only worth talking :).

I think SamSung has a model that can play DivX format movies. I'm not very sure of Philips, check it with
the Philips dealer. I recommend Philips DVD player , since I'm using it for the last 3 years with no problems!!

Philips is quite good in this department.Try the DVP-5106k model.It has a slot loading interface and can play most of the Xvid and Divx files flawlessly.

I agree totally with you. I have been using Philips 625K and it is such a wonderfull performer. Unfortunatelly I bought it 3 years back and that time I was not completely aware of the fact taht there are Stand alone players capable of playing DivX and XVid Movies :(.
So I hope that I can sell my present model and buy the one you suggested.
Thank you
