Last question - Did you burn both BIN files onto the same CD? I always thought a BIN was an image file. In the Philips zip file there were two BIN files: ...

... Geez Louise, after all those SEVERE WARNINGS I'm almost afraid to respond! The answer is "most anything." Any program that can burn data files will do (you...
Just use Nero (or whatever) to burn them as a "Data DVD". One bit of advice: Be careful of the naming of the files. The DVD player is only going to display the...
I will add a note to what the other two have said. The 642 has a problem showing some avi files without the audio going out of sync. Some have posted that...
It's not that it's "underpowered" but the DVP642 has trouble with avi's encoded using certain parameters. This can be fixed. Go to the Files section of this...

But again, the implication is that other Philips players do better with some of the files that don't play well on the 642. Can someone verify or deny this? ...
I hope someone can help me out with the following queries: 1) I just got hold of this MKV file - the quality is awesome and it's the same size as an MPG I...
I had good luck with AutoMKV. It lets you save the file as XviD Home Theater. Offers a selection of containers and codecs. Not as smooth or fast as AutoGK for...
... with some ... deny ... Absolutely. I think all the newer players do better with AVI files using the XviD or DivX codec. I've used 3 newer models and it's...
My point is that I am too lazy to convert AVI files and I want to buy something better than the 642. I guess I should probably buy the Philips that upconverts...
I agree, Marty. I saw a 5960, I believe, at walmart yesterday for $39 and I figured they were about to get rid of the line pretty soon. I too like to have a...
Well Marty, I'm pretty sure the newer models handle GMC/QPEL-ridden files better. Not sure about support for new formats though, but if they aren't any better...
Oh, I wouldn't doubt that. In fact one could say that Philips should have learned from the 642 and that subsequent players *should* be better. ... with some...

I am looking for a newer model than the 642 (we have two of them - one I bought for my daughter). I don't know why you thought that I was saying I want an...
Thanks for the replys Mick. That alphabet soup is something I will likely avoid. It isn't that I don't think I could recode, it is that I have too many other...
In my own experience with the 642, Mick, this has been the least of the audio sync problems (constant out-of-sync). What I see much more of is the file that...
