Blu ray player with H.264, XviD, MP4 etc playback with USB port

Principle · 06/11/11 - 14:46

Looking to upgrade from this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Philips-DVP5980-Multi-region-capable-Upscaling/dp/B000Q7ZCO6

Are Blu ray players that can play those formats on the market?

I have google searched but to no avail.

How much for a reasonably decent brand?

my LG can play all those things.

the important thing for me is that it can play .h264 out of an MKV off a disk or USB, and can play xvid in avi.

I have an LG BD555 which does everything you need, plus have DLNA ability. Its an excellent player.

then connect a NAS hard drive to your router and play all your films straight off it

Any other suggestions apart from the LG BD555?

i'd go with the LG too. i have an older BD360 and it plays everything i need.

(with the exception of stripped headers in mkv, which are easily changed.)

I have done this but found you cannot get Dolby or DTS on my amp so this is fine if you don't need these.
This is from TVersity.

I have not tried playing it from the PS3 but when playing from disk I can get Dolby D.

Any of these available in multi region or is there a way to make them multi region?

would you also like it to make coffee?

i don't know of any. bluray players are not that expensive but £50 is still quite low. i guess you would be looking at the cheapo manufacturers like sumvision or somehting.
