I have a DivX enabled DVD player hooked up to my Panasonic TH-42PV500 via HDMI and want to try some HD material to see how it looks. The only DivX files I have found so far are short trailers and the (presumably illegal) movies I see on the net seem to be .ts files, whatever they are. This is really just for a demo but I'd like to find something like a full length movie or at least some more interesting material to play with. I am assuming that my player will just read the AVI file recorded as data on a DVD. Any pointers would be gratefully received. Thanks.

I have a yamaha DIVX player (S550) but it won't play HD material. Just moans about the resolution being too high or something along those lines. :(
Wonder if it will be upgradable to play HD files.
Anyone know?

My Samsung player looks like it will cope with HD but I am assuming only in DivX format. The model is DVD-HD850 and it has HD stickers plastered all over the case so I'm going to be pretty disappointed if it won't!

Well fingers crossed for you, ive tried a few DIVX HD films transferred to DVD's myself and none of them play, just standard DIVX resolutions. Mine doesnt mention its HD compatible though, just thought i'd try it. :D
I'm sure yours will be fine if it states its HD compatible.
