Question: Does it play all the files put on a Data DVD? Does this player play all the MP3's, JPEG's, .MP4, and DivX files on a data DVD.  If so can the files be in any directory structure?
Document: Other available features on this model include the DivX capability for MP4 and other video files. This player doesn't flinch at all playing these files, a claim which some other divx player try to make. I have files from 6-7 years ago it plays. Also, this model has digital audio out as well as Optical audio out. The replacement model which philips put out for this model does not have the optical audio out, which is a huge deal if you want true DTS sound. This player delivers.
This player will play DVD+R/RW and DVD-R/RW with no problems. I think the people who report problems with DVD-R are simply lying.When encoding DivX AVI files, you should cap the max bitrate at 2000kbps to get perfectly smooth playback. It does support DivX(3,4,5.x),Xvid, MP4, mpeg1 and mpeg2.My negative reaction is to the filename display which is limited to 11 characters.
You can browse through a menu and play whatever you wish without a need for conversion to VCD or SVCD ever - just burn the data CD or DVD with music, videos, pictures, .AVI files compressed with DivX technology... It can also play jpg picture slide shows with random transitions...Bottom line it will play it all.Great value !
For those of you that don't know what that means, essentially it means that this dvd player reads video files from a data disk as well as dvd movies. Data files take up less room on a disk, so you can fit more, which means you don't have to lose video quality to fit a movie, and you can even fit a whole movie on a cd, which it will also read and play. The divx player read most of the media I had.
Honestly, I have not tried -RW since my Panasonic does not recognize it.] It is possible that there was firmware update that did fix this problem, if it ever was a problem.Not giving it 5 stars because the chinzty remote annoys me as do the limits on file name length for MP4 and photo cds. It would also improve with a firmware update that supported newer Divx/Xvid features like Qpel and GMC so that it would truly play everything you put in it.
Aside from being able to play DivX/AVI files (which is a very important feature to some), this is a very average DVD player. In fact I'd put it a bit below average, as there are some genuine annoyances (no EJECT button on the remote, no long filenames in menus, strange ffw/rew layout on remote).
This player will play most file types in common use, unless there is some exotic variation in the file (too common with today's digital playground). Standard DVD, VCDs, SVCDs, Video DVD-Rs, data CDs and DVDs with various flavors of MPEG audio and Video files and JPEG stills have played easily on mine. I haven't found any format listed in the manual that doesn't play as stated.It is limited to 8x fast forward or reverse and 3x zoom on regular DVDs.
For instance, only the first ~12 characters of the filename is displayed (if you're using a data CD or DVD with video files burned on it). Also, divx video plays back flawlessly, but only up to data rates of about 1500 kbps. Above that level the video may occasionally skip a few frames or freeze completely.MP3 and JPEG files on CD or DVD also playback nicely, and you can have a slideshow with music in the background.
That might be all that you have. If video or audio is not as in specifications then the file will not be played or it will be played without sound or without video.Problems that I've noticed:- On a DVD when jumping from the last file in a directory to the first file in the next directory with a lot of files it stopped taking commands - I had to press Stand-By. After powering up again everything was ok I could go select and play files from that directory.
As a dvd player, this is a distinctly middle-of-the-road player. It's not terribly expensive, but it's not terribly well put together, either.The killer feature for me is the DivX (and Xvid, though they don't advertise that) capability, which works. Mostly. Sometimes there are files that it simply won't play.
Answer: No, not in any directory structure.  You can't get too deep.  Also, it won't play some movie files (Mpeg4 and some of the newest high compression algorithms) or some play without sound, but for the most part this player is totally awesome
