Apparently, it can play Divx files. Either AVI or DIVX file extensions.
Usually, these kinds of devices play files of up to 720*576 resolution.

davexnet - thank you very much for your response, but isnt this suppose to be a HD dvd player playing high resolution videos' ?

anyways since you put it that way it supports AVI or DIVX file extensions, somehow it still doesnt play them.. can you please tell me if theres some kindda video conversion software that i need to convert the files first then get them play on the dvd player?/

Before you do a conversion, be sure about what you have.
Use MediaInfo, open one of your troublesome files,
put the program into view/text mode and post the result in here so we can see it.

The device appears to be an up-converting DVD player; it plays standard def DVD's
and up-converts them to 1080p.

Some players, (mine included) will play XVID (codec ID) without issues.
But I'm aware of some, being a little fussy, will only play files with an
ID of DIVX, even though they're almost identical. First thing to try
is a 4cc changer. Take a copy of your movie, use the 4cc changer and change the
4cc of the file to DIVX and try that.

Make sure you save it on the USB stick in a simple fie name, such as movie.avi

all that i see is

FourCC Description Code: xvid - mp41 - mp42 - mp43 - DIV4

FourCC Used Code: XVID - MP41 - MP42 - MP43 - DIV3 -

NO DIVX option..

No need to use the drop down list.
Just over type each field with DIVX (upper case) and apply.

I'd try to play some avi file with DTS surround sound, but unfortunately it only can play the video but can't play the audio. i press on the audio button, the message pop out "there is no audio".... regret to buy this player.....
