Divx players that play divx hd, gmc qpel?

I couldn't find one in the stickies. Does any know any $50-$200+ range divx/xvid players that play native resolution 720p divx6 files (in which i made myself), GMC and QPEL? H.264 support would be a bonus to. :)

There are currently ZERO standalone DVD players that support H.264.

Almost nothing can play HD Divx. Everything that claims to do this costs more than your price range ($300 and above). There are a few media streamers that support 720p Divx and MIGHT (heavy emphasis on that word) support GMC and QPel, but I'd would advise a lot of research before buying one to be sure it will really work for your needs. People will often say that players support certain things when they don't, so I'd advise confirming with multiple sources if you get told that a certain player meets your needs. I remember one time a few years ago on another forum where a guy insisted that a certain model DVD player supported miniDVD (DVD format on CD-R discs). I had this model and miniDVD definitely didn't work on it and many people said that the firmware didn't support the format, but this guy was adamant that miniDVD worked on the player. I asked him some detailed questions about his firmware and he told me "Uh, I don't actually have this player, I just read somewhere that it supports miniDVD." People do this all the time. They will also insist that things that they have never tried work fine because everything they have tried works fine. So if you are told something that supposedly will meet your needs, you really need to confirm it from different trustworthy sources that it REALLY will do what you want.

There are currently ZERO standalone DVD players that support H.264.That's not actually true now. Here's a few: -

There are standalone players that support H.264 and HD Divx quite well.

So there ARE a few dvd players/media streamers that can? (excluding GMC/QPEL). Thanks for the warning! I will research one that will provide firmware updates as well if I'm going to cough up more than $300!
