Buy a DVD player that can play DiVx so I can burn a few movies on one DVD, or should I just wire up my TV to my PC and watch it off there?
DVDs are like what, $50?
Other option I would need a new video card with SVideo out, buy about 20ft cable, plus for audio. Plus everytime I wanted to switch from TV to Computer, I would need to crawl under the desk and switch the audio outs, correct?
Get a Philips DVP-5960. It plays Divx/Xvid, has a USB port, and upconverts to HDTV. List price is $80 and I usually see it for less.
If you have a HDTV, it'll make your downloaded movies look pristine. You can hook up a USB thumbdrive or external hard drive to it, browse to the file you want, and play any clips or movies you select.
I watched all the Battlestar Galactica webisodes with it. The player made the files look better than on the PC and I watched on a wide bigscreen.
