The 2 main reasons why I love the DVP642 player are its low cost(about$50) and it plays every video format known to man. I've been burning .avi, mpeg, xvid and it plays EVERYTHING! To put it more simply, all you have to do is burn the disc with the data and this player will play it in its encoded format. Almost every other player requires you to encode files which adds an around 3-10x the amount of time it takes to just burn a data disc! This is very cool for someone that uses Bittorrent alot or has digital home movies that have been compressed. This is the category killer of DVD players as far as do-it-all computer friendly DVD players. Last I checked, there were over 600 reviews for it on Amazon with an average of 4 stars. Not bad. A couple downsides: the remote and load times are not great.
