    I am looking for a spare DVD Player. A friend bought a Philips 642 a while ago and says it plays everything. Best Buy has the Philips DVP3040 on sale. Will it play mos of my copied/ backup movioes? What about Verbatim DL disks?

    Videohelp.com's database says no, which is surprising because it's a newer model than the 642. Take that with a big grain of salt: I have a four-year-old player that plays homebrew DVDs, including DLs, just fine. The database just means nobody may have tested it.

    I bought a 3040. It does play DL disks. And most other disks too.

    I just bought a dvp3040/37 today from Best Buy. Xvid/Divx playback was really choppy. Haven't been able to find a firmware fix. Goes back to store tomorrow.
