Liteon DVD Player with DIVX MPEG4 Playback LVD-2001
Liteon DVD Player with DIVX MPEG4 Playback LVD-2001
It's all about how much cream you want to spend on one of these beautie's..
Here's another suggestion though!
Why not just buy an Xbox, put in a 80-200gb HD, mod the damn thing, install EVO-X, XBMP, Progressive Scan DVD hack and all that stuff?
You'll get a nice entertainment system AND an expletive deleted game console at the same time!! 🙂 (Note: I said expletive deleted because I'm not really a big fan of T3H XDUDE, although this IS what I'm going to do myself 😎 )

Well i guess it's a matter of how much you wanna spend... this thing cost $139.... that's not that bad for what it has to offer. xBox takes time and money and pleasure of supporting Microsoft (and who wants that) 😉
I guess the one think i would want to know is if the firmware is upgradable for future version of the divx codec. Xbox is a great thing to mod... and your really kicking microsoft in the *** by doing it 😀. Not that i would know or anything, but you can rent games an copy them to yuo hard drive... not that i would. That is against the law 🙂.

yeah that's my guess. just like it plays mp3's on cd's... that's what makes it so cool. But i was wondering about the firmware thing too cuz if you can upgrade the firmware then that's a great deal
LiteOn LVD-2001
I bought the LiteOn from PCclub.com for $139 + $18 S&H. But before I did that I have been downloading movies (got about 90 now - burned on cdr), in preperation for this thing. It took me two nights to sit down and test my cdr's, but out of the 90 discs - about 10 actually played. It turns out that this thing can only play DivX 3.11 and above, and nothing before it. Most of what's out there is versions 1 and 2.
I left a message with the LiteOn tech support - I'll let you know when I hear from them.
I also read in another forum somewhere that you might be able to drop a codec on a cdr and upgrade the player that way.
Does anybody know if this is true? I would appreciate the help here as I am a little frustrated at the moment.
Thanks all,

I've got one ot those Cyberhome 300's..Funky little thing..
I opened it up and bypassed the switching PSU caps with Sanyo Os-Con's cause I had them around-just for kicks-no other mods..(yet)
It actually sounds pretty good playing audio CD's,not bad for $39! 😉
It seems to play DVD's fairly well,Ive only watched a couple movies on it,but it seems pretty decent.
Does anyone know what DAC,etc these use? Guess I could open it up again and find out.. Any other known mods for them?

I've had to replace a blown PS cap in my 300, and a buddy's too. Bet they got ALOT of 'em back! Besides that it's been great.
Really? Hmm,Was it the same cap in each player? Do you remember which one it was?
I might aswell replace it now,before it goes pop and makes a stinky mess inside.

It's been awhile, I couldn't say exactly which one.....but when mine failed it didn't explode, but the top of the cap was bloated.
