What a great post... some many forums have people asking the same questions over and over again and this covers most the points very well.

I think all LG players that do divx can do packed bitstream or can have the firmware updated to support itA nice new hacked verion on MTZ website today which lists the models it will work on.

Targa DP-5100x is a LP 8900P as sold by LG Australia. Both support .sub / .idx

You don't mention DVD-R (or +) Dual Layer support which I suspect is because its mainly unknown. The Targa and Pioneer 575/470 can read DL discs but for minus read the first 4.7gb only properly. For + the Pioneer can read both layers, the Targa can't.
The new Pioneer 585 (UK model) has been confirmed by Pioneer to fully support dual layer.

avforums.com, forum.surdvd.com and phorums.com.au/forumdisplay.php?f=42 are good forums. You tend to find the same people on the same forums with the same advice...pretty much as per this.
