I bought this DVD player because it has a USB port and can play DivX movies. Keep in mind that is not a high quality DVD player. However, it does work, and I have been using it for 4 months without any malfunctions.

DVD player: works fine with U.S. and Chinese DVDs. No problem. It detect subtitles that are not accessible from the DVD's own menu, which is a definite plus.

USB: works ONLY with flash drives NOT with portable hard drives. I have a hard drive full of movies, but that doesn't work. I have to transfer movies onto a flash drive before using. Some subtitle formats work, others do not work. Also, this player will NOT accept any DivX movie that is higher than 420p. In fact, it has trouble with some standard definition DivX movies. It prefers low definition DivX movies. Only AVI format will play on this thing. I tried to play some MOV videos I took on my camera, but they wouldn't play.

My next purchase will be a high quality Blu-ray... Read more

Best investment I've made in years!!! Plays all disc,(NTSC & PAL) The price was so good,$35, I bought another one. You can't go wrong by purchasing one of the fantastic little players.

For the price, the USB function is great and also reads subtitle very well, it takes a while to load the AVI but it works. For regular DVD discs it is VERY picky, a lot of DVD-Burner made discs failed to load. The good - USB can save you discs.

Reads 4GB USB drive well, but do not read 8GB USB, beware of this.

Edit: Reads commercial DVDs very good
