I received the player yesterday and have been playing
with it for several hours.
The first thing I did was download the latest firmware
from the Kiss home web site and loaded it into my new
toy...
The player came to me region free, I have tried both US
and European DVD's and they all play no problem.
Then for the big test...divx !!!
I can say 20000% that this player played ALL the standards of divx
encoded stuff that I could throw at it...
It plays all encoded formats....
It plays 3.11 encoded right up to the latest 5.05 codec movies
No problems at all........
I then tried XVID format..... again no problems at all...
With progressive scanning technology the picture quality on my digital Television
is excellent..!!!
I then tried the usual VCD, SVCD, CVD etc, etc.... Again.... IT PLAYS
them all....
This player plays every single format that exists in regards Movie formats.
The Lan proved a little more trick to set up....
But finally I got there...
The player plays all the streaming radio channels via the Kiss
Radio web site...
In regards Playing divx directly from your computer
without burning to a cd..... it's fantastic.... It does it all
acting like a DVD film JukeBox !!!
I can say hand on heart that this bit of kit is the
'dogs bollocks' .... A British saying for fantastic
and wonderful...
It has been the single most great investment that
I have ever made...
Is it worth parting with your cash for ???
The answer is, YES, YES and YES again
For those of you who live in the good old USA, the Kiss player is available
Stateside, it plays both PAL and American TV Standards
no problems... and yes it can be unlocked for all DVD World Regions...
But it's real joy is being able to play divx,films which can be downloading
off the internet and burn't without any modification on to cheap CD's....!!!!!
JOY... no hours of encoding to svcd etc
Don't believe the literature and maybe's... I have tested it....!!!
It does what it says on the box....
As I final test I used Dr Divx to convert a DVD to divx 5 and then
used Nero to burn the film to a cheap CD....
No probs here too... if you buy the Kiss divx player.. Dr Divx is
a must have software.
One final point, Kiss say as new divx codecs come out, the player will
be able to cope with them via a firmware upgrade...
Untill a few days back the player could not cope with the 3.03 codec
(the main method that most internet movies are encoded)
When I applied the new firmware...all was OK !!
My advice folks is go out and buy one now.....
You won't regret it
:P

For you in the States I hope this helps...!!!
