Title: Best DVD Player and Cheap!
Post by: Robotochan on December 29, 2003, 14:56
I just bought the Yakumo XL2 Multi-region DVD Player  from Amazon for £35, it came in 2 days and it was ordered on Saturday. Anyway for £35 it's amazing! It can play:
DVD
DVDR
VCD
SVCD
XVCD
XSVCD
CD
CDR
CDRW
MP3
JPEG (pictures)
and to my amazement DivX and Xvid DVDs  :o

So far I haven't seen anything wrong with it apart from a rather chunky Remote control  ;D

And to put the icing on the cake, it's silent and looks expensive  ;D

Here's the link: Amazon.co.uk (http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0000UIXTU/qid=1072458570/sr=1-6/ref=sr_1_11_6/026-8886089-7091657)

What codec Divx and Xvid did you try it with?

It doesn't mention Divx on their website

It seems I put the wrong DVD in  ::) That was the one when they were SVCDs and the other one doesn't work, silly me  :-[

I have a Yamada dvx6100, it does play divx, xvid & well too! There are issues with the machine though!, mine is great ;D,plays everything I throw @ it, but there are some horror stories .
 :-[  Divx on a 700m cd is a great advantage from the "downloader's" point of view  ;D

Must admit I bought a Umax/Yamada 2100 Dvd Player 5.1 Multi Region Capable back in June off Ebuyer for £44.99 and can honestly say its only been used 3 / 4 times but it seems ok.
