The manual goes into detail about what it will and will not play from various types of media. When I was trying to figure out why the darned thing wouldn't play my burned DVDs, I went digging through the manual. Thanks for the suggestions, but I do use Verbatim media and I never use packet writing.

Assuming you can even find a 'plays everything including BluRay' player (and I'm not sure we even have any yet), is it really worth spending $300+ for such a player when about $100 would get you the Western Digital player and do the job?

That plus your BluRay player should easily cover all your needs and it costs around $100. It's very small and takes up little space. I guess it's possible that they wrote the firmware to refuse to play Divx on RW media, but that's really unusual to do that.įinally, it sounds to me like you would be a perfect candidate for the Western Digital HDTV player I mentioned above. It could just be that your Panasonic is fussy about brands. Verbatim makes top notch RW media, so try them. However, it might be the brand of media you are using. Good for you.Īs far as the problem with playing Divx on DVD+-RW goes, I doubt that firmware will fix that.

So, over the past few months, have there been any new players at reasonable price points that I might try? Truly, the best all-around media player I have now is the PS3 (w/firmware updates it will play just about anything), but I don't much fancy buying another one of those just for movie playback.Ībsinthecarolinas - Your post on June 21 is one of the rare times here when a post months after the last previous post was appropriate. Blu-ray and DVD playback is otherwise fine for me, and I don't really use any other features (memory card slot, etc.). No other unit I've tried since has that feature.

You were able to manually punch in a time code on the remote and go directly to that point in the film. I still think the best unit I ever had was the first one I ever bought, a Philips unit for about $70. Perhaps a lot of players are missing this nowadays. The unit doesn't seem to have any way to quickly access a specific point in a DivX or XviD file. Obviously, cheap though they are nowadays, this costs more money than reusing rewritable media. It's very annoying, and this practically limits my ability to 'burn and watch' to using permanently burned DVDs which aren't quite full. Therefore, it happens constantly on movies burnt to CD since those movies are usually sized to fall right at 698-700 MB. This seems to happen if the disc is very close to full. Sometimes movies, even when playing perfectly, will just stop halfway or more through and the unit will return to the menu. It is also *extremely* slow - it's slow turning on and off, slow to open the drawer, and slow to load any kind of media. I've written to Panasonic questioning this and asking about the possibility of a firmware upgrade, but I've gotten no response and I've seen no firmware upgrades for this unit. I've been playing DivX files on DVD+RW and DVD-RW discs flawlessly from relatively inexpensive Philips brand players since about 2005 or 2006, yet this $300 player won't do it. I almost feel like I've gone back in time. This is a strange limitation that, had I known about, would have prevented me from purchasing the unit. It will play them from rewritable CD media or from permanently burned DVDs. The unit absolutely will NOT play DivX files burned to rewritable DVD media.

Sadly, I must report that I have been less than thrilled with it. Well, it has been 7 months since I originally posted this, and I did purchase the Panasonic DMP-BD55 at Christmas and have been using it since that time. I think this player will be much better choice than Oppo bdp-83 in terms of video format compatibility (that's all what's matter for me) O DVD-ISO, VIDEO_TS (DVD-Video playback, including DVD menu support). O MPEG (MPEG-TS, MPEG-PS, VOB, M2TS) (typical file extensions. O USB mass storage devices (USB HDD, USB flash memory). My favorite is BD prime with 2 e-sata input connections. They already sell it from $600 and up depending on the player configuration. How about Dune BD Prime player from Israel company HDI.
