Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Philips DVP5140 Multiformat DVD Player with DivX, MP3, Windows Media Support
Customer Review: Versatile & impressive multi-region dvd + media player. A bargain!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this dvd player mainly to be able to play PAL and other region dvd's, which this player does perfectly after entering a quick region code that you can find on-line. You don't need a special 'PAL-format' tv, either, the player outputs PAL as NTSC with no noticable loss in video quality. When purchasing it, I realized that it had DivX support for a variety of video formats, but didn't know exactly what that meant until I actually started playing around with it. I need to view several different video formats (lots of archival footage from on-line sources) and have previously either viewed avi and mpeg files and the such on my computer, or occasionally converted them to dvd format to view on my tv, which is complicated and very time-consuming. I was surprised to discover that with this player I was able to play a DVD-R crammed with many hours of video in multiple formats. It even has full support for subtitles and multiple language tracks in most video formats with the DivX player. I have run into very few video formats which are not supported, and the quality often looks better than it did viewing the same media files on my mac. This player has actually saved me an enormous amount of time and lots of dvd-r's since I no longer need to convert different formats to full dvd's anymore in order to view them on a dvd player.
I have found this to be one of the most versatile dvd and media players I've come across. If you need to play PAL and NTSC dvd's, or dvd-r's in mutliple media formats via the DivX support, I highly recommend this player for the price. I also would note that the player is very quiet when playing all formats: dvd, dvd-r, svcd, etc. I've run into other players in this price range which are surprisingly loud, especially playing dvd-r's, and was happy to find this one is so quiet. Overall, I am very pleased with this dvd player and have no complaints.
Also, this was my first purchase of a new item directly from Amazon, and I was happy with the very fast, free shipping for this item, and overall quality of the transaction.

Together with a 24-bit resolution, more information is captured from the original analogue sound wave form, giving a much richer audio reproduction.
Multi-format playability allows you to play most disc formats for maximum disc compatibility and listening pleasure.
12-bit Video DAC is a superior Digital-to-Analogue-Converter that preserves every detail of the authentic picture quality. It shows subtle shades and smoother graduation of colors, resulting in a more vibrant and natural picture. The limitation of the usual 10bit DAC become in particular apparent while using large screens and projectors.
The attractive enclosure has a very low profile.
DivX Ultra combines DivX playback with great features like integrated subtitles, multiple audio languages, multiple tracks and menus into one convenient file format.
Multi-format playability allows you to play most disc formats for maximum disc compatibility and viewing pleasure.
Picture CD is a CD-R or CD-RW disc on which you can store your MP3 and digital pictures. When inserting a Picture CD in the DVD player, a screen menu will pop up, showing your JPEG's and/or MP3 files on the disc. Just select the music and pictures files you wish to enjoy and press play or OK. You can watch your pictures on TV with your music playing simultaneously.
Progressive Scan doubles the vertical resolution of the image resulting in a noticeably sharper picture. Instead of sending a field comprising the odd lines to the screen first, followed by the field with the even lines, both fields are written at one time. A full image is created instantaneously, using the maximum resolution. At such a speed, your eye perceives a sharper picture with no line structure.
