This is the best looking low profile and light weight DVD player I have seen on the market. It plays everything flawlessly including my DivX files, which have several built in subtitles, which the unit automatically detects. My only quirk with this is that certain high compression DivX files are slightly choppy because the onboard decoder cannot handle the bitrate. However, this is only a minor issue if you are playing high compression DivX files in the 700MB+ range.
