the DP450 is nice, but the one I had to look at (sent it back) wasn't too hot playing back DiVX or XVid encoded discs.
Scan tried blaming the problem on a firmware issue (which it very well could have been) but they couldn't give me a date that the fix would be available.
The fix is out now... a friend of mine's father has one which is how I found out about it..
The DivX issue was when the files were DivX 3.11 and the (then current) firmware only supported 4&5, about a month ago I downloaded the newest firmware which supported 3.11 and fixed some of the Xvid issues.
On the budget front, I can recommend the good looking Naiko N-2081 from Safeways(!) and also the Compacks AB-6820 also from Safeway. These would play a round cardboard cutout if you tried . Obviously they wont play DivX though. Both are better than my old Cyberhome AD-L528.
I'm going to be after a chaep DVD player to play my "backup" films form PC before long, any recommendations, something that can play a lot of formats and can be made multi regonal

But then it was the first DVD player on the market to support DIVX AND XVid so you have to realise that there will have been problems at first.
