Finally a DivX/Xvid DVD player with USB

Finally a DivX/Xvid DVD player with USB

We had a thread back a few months ago where I was asking if there was a DVD player that can play USB well I found one.

http://www.consumer.philips.com/c/dvd-player/14220/cat/en/ca/

Philips DVP5990 DVD Player with USB

Key Features
DVD Type: DVD Player
Progressive Scan: With Progressive Scan
Video Upconversion: 720p (HDTV) 1080i (HDTV) 1080p (HDTV)
Playable Disk Types: DVD Video
Playable File Formats: MPEG2 DivX XviD MP3 WMA JPEG MPEG1
Number of Discs: 1

This thing plays everything I through at it XviD and DivX wise with all the proper aspect ratios. It plays any disk either -RW or +RW CD or DVD all this with 1080p HDMI upconversion but it also has component and banana plugs if you want.

Also on the Philips site they simply say...
"Simply plug your device into the USB port on your Philips DVD system. Your digital music and photos will be played directly from the device. Now you can share your favorite moments with family and friends."

But what they don't say is that the USB also plays MP3, XviD/DivX, MPG and VOB files. To many files to play ? simply plug in your 500G external USB Hard Disk to the USB port and bingo.

It won't play DVD's from the USB but it will play the VOB files. Meaning that it won't play the DVD top menu but you can select the VOB files to play.

I did a test on my 8Gig USB stick and you have to copy the files individually VTS_01_1.VOB and then VTS_01_2.VOB and so forth. If you select 6 files to be copied at a time then it may put VTS_01_2.VOB before VTS_01_1.VOB on the stick and they won't play in order. But if you copy them in order and start the first one then it will play all VOB files in succession. Hey it's not perfect but it can be done.

I'm going to try and do more tests to see what I can do. My goal is to rip and DL 7Gig disk into one VOB file onto my USB stick but the stick is FAT32, I'll see what I can do.

So far so good. A big thumbs up for Philips.
