Dude I dont know the exact model but you can go for Philips! It supports DivX format with USB port to connect to a flash drive. I think this is the best.

I suggest you go for one of the following models from Philips:

Model Number/Website Price/Shop Price (approx)
* DVP5986K/98 - Details - Rs. 5500 - ~ Rs. 4700
* DVP5965K/96 - Details - Rs. 5000 - ~ Rs. 4200
* DVP5150/94 - Details - Rs. 5000 - ~ Rs. 4200

My suggestion is you go for the DVP5986K/98 which has :
- HDMI output
- upscaling any video to 720p, 1080i, 1080p i.e. Full HD Quality.
- USB Input
- 5.1 channel
- DivX Ultra playability
- Dolby & DTS decoders
- Almost Future Proof (Not a Blu-ray player :()

I don't recommend the others, but here are the features list of them:
The DVP5965K/96 is similar to DVP5986K/98 except the following :
- Has 2 Channel Sound output
- Upscaling to 720p, 1080i

The DVP5150/94 has the following :
- 7.1 Channels sound
- No USB
- No Upscaling
- No DivX Ultra Support

Here is some info about Upscaling Videos, If you didn't know:

What if I use standard DVD player and HD display. The DVD player is not HD capable no 720 or 1080 but the TV is capable. Would it work by stretching picture or would there be black borders?

As in can a TV upscale if DVD player sends normal resolution signal?
