being able to hack something up and getting it to work is easy enough but there is lots of problems with it. such as you need a place to put the comp that you can still access and cable lengths s-video aint cheap. also it has to be off if you wana watch tv if your poor like me and dont have cable tv. cause hardrives spinning and tv antennas dont mix. a simple xvid player is always very useful. |

could any one with the philips dvp5960 answer this for me (as i'm considering getting one). i brought a cheap dk digital divx player a few years ago and it plays avi files fine if they were ripped from a decent source e.g. a dvd rip. but it generally goes out of sync when playing the tv rips from this site. generally where the advert breaks have been cut out, or when a slight bit of breakup occurs. it seems like unless the avi is of perfect quality it will go out of sync. my question is, do the newer divx players have these symptoms? have you been able to successfully play various tv shows from this site without sync problems? |

...and if you guys don't want to burn stuff to dvd first have a look for a sarotech media player (dvp-370 or 260 or 254) or a mediagate (mg-25 or 35) they can also act as external hdd. |

yes, i've been able to play many of the tv shows listed on this site with no difficulty (no sync problems) on the dvp5960. the new firmware even allows you to adjust the audio delay to correct some encodes if necessary. |

i promise you this guy is right, well worth the investment. i originally got my xbox modded cause i though it was cool to have all the game on the hdd and emulated games (snes, nes, etc) now i don't know how i watched tv/movies without it (i didn't) i now find myself with a 320gig hdd loaded with seasons of many shows and tons of movies. |
