4.0 out of 5 stars The best way of having large collections of portables movies , July 8, 2006

By	Mohammed J. Al Abbadi - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Support many video format including DivX, very easy to hoke it to the TV, very portable way to enjoy watching movies than DVD or CD players.

The bad thing is that it doesn't support international subtitle font for any language, ?I donn't now wether can be updated using firmware or not to support more fonts and subtitle languages.
