ISO DVD-Player which plays AVI

Post by Pete-Rock »

Hi everybody,

I am looking for a quality DVD or BlueRay-Player which can play AVI-files (or at least most AVI-files). Price doesnt matter.

Any suggestions? Any good players out there with which you made good experiences?


And another question: Since I do not have a player which can play Divx or Avi until now - how does it work? I just burn the AVI files to a DVD-R and the player will play them? Or do I have to convert them in any way first?

Thanks heaps

Pete

what kind of .avi's are you looking to play? I know when I put my FlashDrive into my PS3, my videos all appear and I can transfer there? That also plays Blu-ray discs if you're truly looking for that...

Hi Pete,

This will play any file format for a regular DVD player with HDMI

I have this version it plays any file format for a regular DVD player without HDMI

For Bluray players look at the PS3

Thanks, Chris!

Difficult to tell what kind of avis. Most kinds I'd say. Sometimes it is divx, sometimes some other codec I downloaded or whatever.... Problem is that you often cannot see what codec it is when you have an avi-file :huh:

Well I think 99% of the dvd players can play divx/xvid. There's a logo on the front panel
Burn the file on a cdr(w)/dvr(w), that's all. You can burn several videos on the same disc. Most (all?) recent players have something like a file explorer: you can see the files, change the folder,... Most can also play mp3, show jpeg...

i no this is a little old. but as you now have a ps3 you can connect this to your pc using mediaplayer,
all your videos is avi format will show on your ps3 as long as they are in the correct folder.
usually username/videos
then open windows media player then go to the now playing tab and select more options.
then library then configure sharing. go to your ps3 and search for media sharing. it will then show up in the media player window you have open. it will display as unknown device, select it then select allow, click ok and your done.
your movies will show up, your music an your images.
