Well the catch is Gunny is that with most Divx certified players, you need to downsample the file to "Home Theater" mode, which basically drops the resolution to the 780x something, i forget exactly what or why it is that way. Maybe someone else knows? But with my player, which is pretty much ubiqutious, thats the way they do it.
The player seems pretty solid. Its got a GUI for navigating the individual mpeg 4 files - i'm pretty sure it can play WMV files in addition to AVI, wmv just being the wrapper of course. I've had BSG converting for the last 5 hours. Got 7 eps done, working on the other 6. Not including the feature film, it tops at 4.44 gigs - so we'll see if it can fit on 1 finalized dvd. Pray... Kinda wish I had a monster machine to chew on it - but 1 desktops been doing porn, the other BSG. Oh well. But yea, the price is extremely reasonable and its got enough outputs including an optical.
Oh BTW, i'm hooking up with Hondo on the 13th for a truck show a lil north of Fresno if u got nothin to do. I'd cover the booze if he supplied the boobies. Leeme know if ur around.
