596816 2007-10-01 07:53:00 If I got a DVD player could play 'DivX' could it play 'AVI' files? thanks Adamnz (12260)
596817 2007-10-01 07:55:00 Short answer - probably. Is it a Sony? wratterus (105)

596819 2007-10-01 08:03:00 Good one.

I'm pretty sure that will, it depends how the .avi was encoded, I think the divx codec needs to be used for the .avi files?? Things may have changed since I last checked.

GSpot (www.free-codecs.com) could be of some use to you. :p

Playback from your choice of formats - SACD (Super Audio CD) / DivX / CD-R / CD-RW / MP3 / JPEG / DVD-R / DVD-RW (Video & VR) / DVD+R / DVD+RW

says so in the features.

As long as you encode the files using the correct DivX codecs, this particular DVD player will handle them without any problems whatsoever.

My suggestion would be to burn a disc with files of all formats that you would like supported and take it into the store with you and try it out right there and then.
