The slimline player handles both DVD video and audio, and is

the first hardware player to fully support DivX PRO

GMC,
B-frames,
QPel,

^kick ass!
but also postprocessing, data partition and error resynch markers (you might see those features in an upcoming MPEG-4 codec. IT also has a progressive scan output and according to the datasheet I have, it can also handle WMA audio

I bet you can't multi-region it though ... or record to DVDs on it ... shame because it seems to do EVERYTHING else! Great find ... now what will the pricing and availability be like?

[Bindibadgi]

Nice!! Where from? Sure youll be able to multiregion it.

According to http://www.heim-elektronik.de/Elta_Zimmerantenne.htm the list price is €156

cheapo i reckon

dvd+-rw and it would be a baby

[DizMatt]

how does it compare to the Yamada 6100
firmware upgradable and region free out of the box
for 90 quid inc

[bledd]

well, this is the only player (that i know of) that can handle qpel + gmc, so this is tons better in that respect, dont know anywhere that stocks it yet tho.

i'll keep checkin doom9.org and post any updates

[Spud1]

looks ace, like you say just need to find a stockist now

[Enverex]

Bah, and I was wondering why I couldn't find a price on that page. It does look a bit on the huge side, it looks like, from that picture, that it would infact overhang most non-huge/widescreen TVs....

NS

[bledd]

the fact that its the only player to properly work with divx 5 means i dont care what it looks like!

hopefully, other manufacturers like Kiss Technology will catch on and produce something to rival it

[Stoo]

aha, apparently it's not been released yet, that's why we can't find much about it other than what's on the manufacturer's page..
