DVD / Divx Players
There is no BEST. It's what works BEST for you.

MD,
Check out the specs for these Divx players, carefully, because Dvix HD profile does not extend to 1440 or 1920 x 1080. Regrettably, 1280x720 is the max. In order to create Divx 1920x1080 it is necessary to use the "Unconstrained" profile, which may not be played properly in Dvix certified players.
I am using the IOData AVLP2 DVD player, which can playback Divx or Xvid 1920x1080 from either standard DVDs or external USB hard drive. Note that he AVLP2 is a bit geeky to use (you have to download firmware updates) and the LAN feature that streams video from a PC seems to be less than perfect but it is still the best, most affordable HD player at $250.

jchunter,
Thanks John, that's exactly what I was wondering. It's hard to find all the specs on these units. They say upto Divx 6 certified etc.
I've seen these units advertised in the local stores.
I was looking at the Divx & MP4 Codec for playback only since BD or HD-DVD isn't in the average consumer cost market.
The box your using sounds like the best choice. I had looked that up once before, nice unit.
Thanks for the input.

MD,
I should probably add that the AVLP2 geekieness is technical (slow boot up, slow response to the remote control, firmware loading, etc.) But it looks nice - just like any other DVD player and replaced my old DVD player with my wife hardly noticing. She uses it without any problems.
I don't know how long it will take to bring down the price of Blu-Ray equipment. The Sony internal BR burner/player for the PC is still quite pricey at $700. I haven't seen an external BR burner, yet.
