Hello ad, I will have to replace my Philips DVP642 it is having problems. Anyhow, my question: I saw a Philips DVP 1013 at Target for about $35 USD, which is a really good deal for a DVD player. Will it have the same capabilities as the other Philips players. Does it play AVI files off a DVD, DIVX support?
I haven't opened it, but I bought it at Target today for $25. Taking a chance it may just play divx. The box says "Simply plays it all." I have 90 days to return it. Check out this link from Philips. Says it plays divx, but this is a French manual. Looks to be the same unit, even down to the dvp1013/37 description on the side of the box. http://www.p4c.philips.com/files/d/dvp1013_37b/dvp1013_37b_pss_cfr.pdf I guess I'll have to burn a disc and try it out.
My mother has one. It does NOT play DivX! That manual is wrong; they probably got the wrong page from a different manual. Read the tech spec- Formats de compression: MPEG-1, MPEG-2 That's VCD / DVD like I said.
