Could not. My Hdd had bad sectors. So I had to copy all data back into my desktop/laptop.
I will try it as soon as I get a replacement hdd.I have a question.
Does any of these players support playing from 2.5" External hard disk drives?
I have one without external power supply (seagate freeagent go 320GB), It takes power from USB itself. So many players which support pen drives seem to not support this. :indifferent14:
Has anyone tried out the above? Any comments on players which support 2.5" external HDD is welcome.

I have got Philips DVP5996.
So, far its been very good. I'm using an external HDD and memory stick with this one and the pq is excellent with the original DVDs.
I'm able to play AVI files but some of them gives me GMC codec or simply codec not supported errors, while running those AVI files.
Can someone tell me what could be the issue! I'm runnin the latest firmware (.31). I'm also not able to play WMV file
I was expecting it to play WMV and somewhere I read that too!!
Can someone comment on this issues??
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
AVI is a Container Format and can contain Videos created using a wide range of codecs. AVI files created using Divx or Xvid Codecs should be normally supported by Philips 5996. You can run the AVI File in your PC and find out about the Codecs used by checking on the Properties. If it is an unsupported Codec, you will have to convert it to a supported format using a video converter software such as Virtualdub (Free) using Divx or Xvid Codecs etc. There are other converters such as 'Super' (Free) available on Internet. Once you do that your files should run on 5996.

Yes Prakash. You are right. The Philips player does not play uncompressed AVI. Compressing the files introduces visible distortion on big screens. So I would recommend preserving he original video and use the encoded one on this player.
Thanks,

Reposting... can anyone help with above query?
re encode the divx file with xvid and then try again.
avi and divx are not formats. they are codecs. both have the same format.
u should try using xvid instead of divx. i had similar problems with my lg dv388. it got solved everytime i used xvid.
I think performance of your HDD(USB 1.1?) could be an issue, Since i had the same problem when i was using older USB thump drive. Recenly i got new WD 1TB external harddisk(USB 2.0) and all the movies running fine, i mean no problem with FF.
Cool me will try with Maxtor 1 TB and get back to all of you !
1TB USB thumb drive? awesome! how much did it cost u?

AVI is a file format from Microsoft that is based on the RIFF file specification
AVI RIFF File Reference (Windows)
Divx is also a format and the same term is used to represent DivX Media Format as well.
The codecs are to convert from/to a given format.
