2.0 out of 5 stars Not quite as advertised, December 17, 2007

By	Ruprecht ".." (USA) - See all my reviews

On the main specifications page of the Mvix website, this is listed as able to play AVI files. It isn't. It won't play them at all. Hidden within the support section of the MivxUSA website is a small "fine-print" article that mentions some "issues" with AVI files. The "issue" is that it will not play AVI files, despite the specifications listed.

Also, if you have a standard aspect TV, this will NOT display widescreen video appropriately if it is in MPEG-2 or Divx format. It does not letterbox properly. Instead, it "stretches" the image to fit the screen, and it looks awful. It does a good job with DVD ISO files, but if I'm going to have to create a no-longer-editable ISO file, then why do I need this Mivx player? I could just store my AVI files on a bigger, cheaper hard drive and burn some DVDs.

If you don't need to play AVI files, and you don't want to show widescreen movies on a standard aspect TV, then you may find this product useful. Otherwise, you'll be unhappy with it.

And one more thing, MivxUSA assesses a 25% restocking fee (25%!!!) just to return the device. Make sure you're sure you want this before you order, because you won't be returning it no matter how crummy it is.

I am not a satisfied customer.

5.0 out of 5 stars good buy for those not interested in net streaming..., September 28, 2007

By	Robert Alan Smith - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

All,
This would be my 3rd or 4th DivX player, and my second
hard drive based one (other was an MG25). This one has
worked flawlessly, and having 300GB of movies, clips, and
music videos available is awesome.... I will henceforth
avoid network streaming ones with their expense, slowness
and transcoding problems. I recommend this wholeheartedly.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love it!, April 4, 2008

By	A. Arvig "A" (MN, USA, North America, Planert Earth) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I love this player! It plays almost everything i throw at it. I have had a few AVI files that wont play but for the most part AVI's work great! It also has played all the ISOs ive tried just fine, im not sure what those other reviews are about, maybe just bad luck? or they needed to firmware upgrade.
