Philips DivX DVD Player

Does anyone know what the maximum resolution of DivX this will output? Will it output higher resolution videos than a normal DVD? Or does it downgrade it to DVD res?

Thanks,
GC

I have a DVP320 and in the manual it states the max res is 640x480. But I think it can play DivX files with res up to 720. I tried it and they work just fine. Beyond 720, I don't know.
So it is safe to assume that the safest res is 640x480, and the max res to be used is 720x576 (DVD res).

No matter what resolution the avi is, the output resolution is 640x480. I tried a 960x544 xvid and it does not play.

If you're talking about on-board video up-scaling/up-sizing/up-converting... then no!

If you are talking about the maximum input resolution of an encode/source file... then this will be 720x576 (total 414,720) pixels!

Cheers

The Philips player will allow you to play anything up to 720x576@25fps/720x480@30fps. All DivX Home Theater Certified devices will support this (40,500 macroblocks per second).
