| I'm interested in one of theese Standalones as well, but, Not sure if this is agaist the rules, but a modded Xbox with XBMC is wonderful for playing Divx files. If you got an Xbox, pop 50 bucks into it and you've got yourself a divx player. Sorry if this isn't an answer you were looking for, just though I'd give a suggestion | ||

| eh...but that's not what I asked is it? | ||

| Then define "standalone". If you mean something that can sit next to your TV, look like a piece of stereo equiptment and be operated by a remote, then that only has to do with packaging. A HTPC can be just as "standalone" as a Kiss player in all of these regards.
While your at it, define "Best". In my mind "Best" means highest picture quality, best functionality, largest fexibility with respect to different formats/encode options. As such, a HTPC is the "Best". Maybe if you said "A good standalone player for $XX that I can just buy and plug in" then maybe you would get a different answer. -Suntan | ||

| If you are in the Uk or Europe then get the DK Digital DVD-339. I got it for £80 and it plays everything i've tried so far. DivX, XviD (including files i've encoded with v1.0 RC3) and mpg whether its on cd-r, dvd-r/w or dvd+r/w. a bargain in my book:

| Though I just bought a new DVD player that RJ1600 on the other thread looks pretty damn awesome !!!! Region Free, DivX, plays all formats, etc.... | ||

| What about the best one that plays NTSC and can be delivered to the United States? It seems to me they are all over in Europe and the UK. | ||

| On the contrary, I think they have a great future. -- :shock: [/quote] | ||

| The Kiss DVDs are great. I got a Kiss DP-450 more than a year ago (almost two years ago) and since then Kiss has been releasing newer firmwares that improved the capabilities of this DVD player far beyond the initial specifications. When I got it it could not play DivX 3.11 (only 4 and up), now it can, as well as fast forwared and backward on DivX/Xvid files. It has progressive scan for better image quality. The support is great, always that I had a problem they have responded, and everything has been fixed with newer firmwares.
It will not play OGM though, but I belive that DP1000 or 5XX can play OGM. | ||
