@mrm - It is being over-optimistic to expect a standard def DVD player to play high-def files. If you want to play high def files you heed an high def player. The manufacturers want your money .
The Philips models are actually good as they will play divx files on the usb. Some brands do not.

Hi sir uvax,
di naman over optimistic. the philips can upscale upto 1080p . when I play divx movies tulad ng mga
gawa sa IMAX which have resolutions of 720p and 1080i, nag peplay sila pag burned on a dvd (when converted by using video converters then upscale through
my player). pero pag linagay divx movies(unconverted) sa usb o kaya sa dvd di sila mag play or . sound lang lumalabas. I have research through the philips site that my model supports only up to 575p when playing divx. But there are some models which are capable of supporting up to 720p via divx movies but the site I read them did not mention the brand. I just want to point this out so that they will know what the limitation of this player.
