Philips dvd player problem

[Amethyst]

Didn't ask because i've read a few things around the net and havn't heard of a single problem. =/ I'd say I could still at least download a few movies to watch but 95% of the avi movies are like 715+ mb so they just barely don't fit on a cd disc. =/

Well technically, not being able to read the subtitles on a TV isn't a problem with the DVD player... it's more a problem with the placements of the subs on the AVI files.... as for burning movies to a disk, why don't you put them on a DVDR instead of a CD? If they are still too large, you may have to use DVD Shrink on them to get them to fit on a DVDR.

Those divx playing players are a waste of money simply because they play hardly anything and aren't easyily upgradeable. Get an XBOX and a modchip and then download Xbox Media Center. It plays EVERYTHING at what ever aspect ratio you want. It can play soft subs, MPEG 1/2/4, MKV, OGM and is constantly being upgraded to new formats every day. Also plays ac3 mp3 and ogg!

Yes, and eventually your Xbox will stop reading your game disks because you're using it to read DVD's. So it's much better to just get a cheap DVD player to use on your DVD's instead of taking the chance of ruining your gaming system by using it to play DVD's...
