10-4 on that divx info.There is DivX, which is a later take-off on XVID. (play on the name---inverting it) A lot of the available movies "out there" are XVID and appear to play fine on tthe Coby 7377. It's hard to tell because they almost all come "parckaged" in a dot avi file. Whats actually in there is hard to deciper- to my mind anyway. So the avi file that comes off my camera is WAY different than the avi file which contains a feature-release movie (as a DivX or XVID) But I believe that both of those popular formats will play on the unit.OK- get back to work! Me too. 10-4 on that divx info.There is DivX, which is a later take-off on XVID.

Joey -I went to the DivX website at http://www.divx.com/en/products/software/windows/divx, and I don't think it is different than the paid for version, because the trial supposedly runs out after 15 days. Also, one of the early reviewers was upset because it was a crappy quality picture. There is also something called Xvid which is completely free, which I've read in one of the reviews also works on this unit, but I haven't tried it out yet. (I'm self-employed, and if I don't work I don't get paid, so I try not to spend my entire day playing with my toys!)Heidi

Heidi4:3 on standard TV. I'll keep that in mind.Which DivX convertere were you using? Do you think the free trial was low quality and the "paid-for" would be better?There have to be a million apps out there for this...Let's see, first generation Saturday Night Live Gilda Radner?I remember the very first show!!! George Carlin was host. Yeah, I'm over 20 too!That was some cutting edge TV back then. Really the first "cool" thing to ever hit the screen. Maybe besides "The Mod Squad"!

HeidiI don't think I'm more advance with this unit than you are at this point!I have not tried the zoom feature and I can't help you there regarding whether the text stays on the screen.I was playing with the basics of the screen formatting last night.I did mess around with the settings and got the "boxing" to be reduced and the image enlarged. I believe this was under Setup\TV Settings, and then I selected the 4:3 PS that you described.This seems to work pretty well for me.

Hi! I tried an a couple of .avi files, and had the same issue with only getting the sound portion on one, and nothing on the other (they had been written by different programs.) Then I tried using the DivX converter on one and it ran fine (though to be honest, the picture was pretty bad!) I haven't bought the converter software, just a 15 day free trial of it, and plan to try the Xvid freeware first. Does anyone know where to get free divX downloads?

Thanks Dale --That sounds great! Almost too easy to be true? I guess the big hang up with those old camcorders was getting the video onto a PC, connections, storage space, firewire's, etc.... I just want to put them on a dvd so this sounds like it would work for me. It is just home video of the kids growing up so top image quality isn't really a concern. The only other question is, what do you think the 'playability' of the recorded disc would be on devices going forward, meaning our PC, parents PC, whatever dvd player we have, etc.....? Any special type of disc to ensure compatability with multiple devices?If I spend hours converting but then can't watch, I haven't really accomplished anything. Thanks Dale --That sounds great!

do you know any good avi to mpeg converters or something because the ones that i tried will either convert part of the file, or leave its logo in the center; and of course the zen converter doesnt work at all for me. thanks

Hi! No, mp4 files do not play nor a plethora of other common files through USB or SD card. I have had a heck of a time with customer service, but I can tell you after a month going back and forth I could **ONLY**successfully play video converted as such: Xvid (format AVI, video codec Xvid, Audio Codec MP3) resolution 640*480. From their technical help emails: File Codecs supported: . MP3 . XviD . MPEG1 & 2 . JPEG NOT Supported . WMA . WMV (Windows Media Video) 9.1 . VCD 1.1 . VCD 2.0 . SVCD . DiVX ************************************************************** SD card Formats supported - Normal SD, 50X SD SD card maximum size in GB -- 4G USB - 2.0 - 4G max My question: why it can't read beyond a 4G USB (or SD card) drive? Their Answer: There are limitations of the product due to the size of the internal processor. Increasing the size of the internal processor and adding additional file formats would directly impact the price point of the product.

I have been able to play every Divx file I've thrown at it with no trouble. Saves a lot of time not having to encode and burn them to DVD, however on pan shots when there is a lot of information changing there is a stutter

Hi there, almost all kind of videos I've been played on it, mp4, avi, mpg, mkv, flv with no problem. I've used dlna to share the videos from mac and pc. I hope this will help.

The manual says it only supports playback of pictures from USB devices, though it lists the supported file types as JPG, DIVX, and MP3. I have never tried playing anything from a USB drive on this device, and don't know if firmware updates might have changed what is described in the manual.

I agree with Weld Tech on this.The BD65 is a nice, solid BluRay DISC player, but it has a serious omission with the lack of being able to play files such as DIVX - which is a basic staple in today's market!Since I have had 2 older DVD players which were capable of playing DIVX from disc and/or USB, I never imagined this updated player -- which boasts USB and SD inputs -- would lack basic DIVX capability.This might not be an issue for some, but it would have been a deal-breaker for me. It also greatly reduces the value of this player and makes me question Panasonic products, now.

need a little more info. What did you use for a player? What were the Samsung settings you used to make the video? how big is the file? ..... Try VLC, A very good (and free) player that runs on PCs. .....Oh, one more question, what type of computer are you using, PC,Mac, Android chromebook....?

I just put in a DVD of .mpg and .avi files and it played them fine. No menu on the DVD, just files. It brought up a list of the files and you can select which on you wouldl like to play. Good feature.

Anyone have any issues with .avi files that are over 1gb? I can fast forward through it, but when I try to play it normally, it cuts at about the 1hr 50minute mark.Thoughts?

The manual says it will not play DivX (or MP3 or WMA). I don't know about the other formats.

The recorded files are stored securely. To view them, go to "Video Player", press "OK", the unit should show "No files!". Hold down on the two "VOL" buttons (VOL-/&lt;&lt;I and VOL+&gt;&gt;I) for more than 3 seconds, the unit will read recorded videos and a list of videos will show up. Use the two VOL buttons to select the one you want to play. Please let us know if this helps. Thank you.

So far , my own mkv files will not play smoothly at all. Tried them from both USB stick and discs and from different sources and can;t get anything other than a highly pixelated picture. These are HD files so maybe that is the problem?So far this is the ONLY trouble I have had with the machine.

The manual says it will play back Xvid but it does not mention DivX. To be honest, I don't know anything about either of these formats. The manual has about two pages of qualifications as to what will play and what won't. The only sure way is to try it in the player.
