I Borrowed One Of These LDV-2001 Players From My Supplier For A While, my conclusions, to this player was throw it in the bin!
It does doesnt play all new divx codecs, and is funny when it comes to xvid. Tried Many of my films in my collection, old and new, only got one to work out of 20 that i tried. This Player SUCKS Big Time Dont Buy It!!!!!!!!!!!

what codecs didnt work !

i bought the player last week and flashed it to v2.27

what DiVX and XViD i have in my collection have all been able to play (musta been lucky then compared to your review !)
it played when the codec was v3.11 to ones with v5.05 with no problems
- no jerkyness
- sound spot on

thinks im one of the lucky ones :jump:


However it does seem tempremental with downloaded DVD-R and the types of disc you burn them onto
Bulk-paq GREEN don't seem to good :thumbdown:
