Divx/mpeg4 Standalone Player!

:D I just thought I'd let you know about a DVD player I bought today. It's a Medion 7457 which is available from ALDI - I bought mine in Spain. Medion put their label on products made by well known manufacturers and sell them exclusively through ALDI.

This machine is what I've been waiting for!! It supports MPEG 4 and divX!! So now I can watch my .avi movie discs on tv instead of the pc! ( I don't do VCD! )

I've seen the KISS divX/DVD player advertised for £99.00 in the UK.. I've also seen a Philips machine over here for 199.00 Euros. But this Medion cost just 75.00 Euros (£55) brand new c/w remote!

I've tested both Xvid and divX discs on it and they all play fine!

It supports DVD/DVD+R/-R/DVD+RW/DVD-RW/MPEG 4/DivX4&5.X/SVCD/VCD/CD-R/CD-RW/WMA/PHOTO/CD AUDIO-CD. It has a built in AC3 decoder and has optical/co-axial outputs for sound.

MPEG 4 technical details:

Resolution:720 x 480 @ 30 fps; 720 x 576@
25fps

Bit rate: 4000kbps; Peak max. 10000 kpbs;MPEG 4 ASP level 5

Can u just put the avi's and divx files right on to the disc in no particular order and watch em or do u need to use a particular format the way u have to burn an mpeg file in an (s)vcd format to use in most dvd players?

You can put them on a disc in any order and the player then gives you an alphabetical menu to scroll down. :D

Fucking hell mate , you havent been around for a while. :)

I 've been thinking of getting something like the kiss for xvid for months.Or go for a med-high end dvd player to match my tv....I still cant decide. :)

Ethernet/Wireless and optional 40/80GB HDD

KiSS DP-1500 series divide itself into three categories, DP-1500, DP-1504 and DP-1508. All of them based on the Slim Line DivX® Compatible DVD Player KiSS DP-1000, these three players have also a built-in Ethernet Port and a PC Card Slot, enabling them, if connected to a Broadband Internet Connection to read Audio/Video/Picture content straight from a PC with the KiSS PC-Link Software as well as playing Internet Radio Station with WebRadio. The PC Card Slot also adds a new feature to this player, enabling it with Wireless Connection, KiSS provides the Access Point and PC Card (IEEE 802.11b) as extra accessories. The difference between these players resides in the optional Hard Disk where the KiSS DP-1500 doesn’t come with any, the KiSS DP-1504 comes with a 40GB Hard Disk and the KiSS DP-1508 comes with a 80GB Hard Disk. Having a hard Disk on the player will enable the user to store Audio/Video/Picture content on the DVD Player, up to 58 good quality DivX® Films for the KiSS DP-1504 and up to 117 good quality DivX® Films for the KiSS DP-1508.

I moved and lost my adsl connection - so haven't been on Kazza L or the forum much of late. This machine is the dogs - might be worth trying ALDI Uk to see if they will be stocking them. It's got a great spec for such a low price.

Nice machine {I} {K} {E}. Nice price @ £300 for the 40gb version!!

anyone know a place I can buy this dvd player besides ebay? A trusted site????

I've had this one for months now its great hasn't let me down on anything I throw in you just have to use Dvix Repair first to make sure you have no bad frames then bang sit down and watch,if its in 5 speaker sound you get dolby alot of the 2 speaker ones also give you it.
I had to flash it last month to keep it up to date but at least they have upto dates and it was very easy.Don't forget you still only get what you see on your Pc but bigger (black bars top & bottom) it all depends what size the movie was done in.

does that playe play xvids as well, im thinking ov buying one if it does

Yep sure does played every thing I've put in it except .wma files then I don't have many on them,if you get one go to their firmware update site and get the lastest from them.
All you do is put the file on a rw so you don't waste a disc and stick in the machine all done that easy.
