Re: ISO cheap dvd player that plays pal
Our boys just received dvd players for christmas, they are cyber home ones. I was jumping for joy when I read on top of the box that they play PAL dvd's. I think the apex ones play PAL also, should run you around $30 or so.

Yep, many Apex players do. Check out this page on videohelp.com . It should help you figure out what you need.

Re: ISO cheap dvd player that plays pal
I bought a Phillips 642 at Walmart last week for $70 that plays pal dvds AND can handle just about any video file you throw at it (Divx included).

Re: ISO cheap dvd player that plays pal
Sweet...DivX on CDR plays? I've been wanting to grab something like this to replace my very finicky old Sony for quite some time. About 30-40% of the DVDs I put in (a lot of NTSC too for some reason) it just refuses to read or play, despite the fact that they play fine in my PC.

Re: ISO cheap dvd player that plays pal
Best But sells one called the Cyber-Home(they make computer drives as well) player for ~$40 that handles anything you throw at it. +Rs, -Rs, RW, VCD, SVCD, PAL, NTSC. It does it all. And it converts the signal internally for use w/NTSC TVs.
I have also had good luck with APEX. Basically, the cheaper the player is the MORE compatible it is with multi-formats. The smaller brands can't afford to manufacture a North American, European, and other country version of their DVD players so they just manufacture ONE that does it all. Reverse-Logic at its best I guess. No members have liked this post.

Re: ISO cheap dvd player that plays pal
If you put on a DVD disc with 4-5 Divx files on it, does it just play them in sequence automatically?

Re: ISO cheap dvd player that plays pal
I went searching for a DVD player that played DivX files and after comparing that Philips, the RCA DRC240N, and another deck, I went with the RCA. I don't remember why, but it was a good reason, so look into the RCA DRC240N before you buy one.
Same thing with the files. Just put them on the disc and put the disc in and it lists them and you go to whatever you want to play. It's good to shorten the file names. I was going to try putting folders on there and see if it can navigate. Also, I haven't tried with the exact same file, but it seems to me that DivX files play back smoother on DVDs than on CDs. Don't know if that's by definition that DVD is better for video images or not. No members have liked this post.
