does anybody knows about the LiteOn DVD/Divx player? I bought it off Ebay for $150 with shipping.

To those who have a Divx player, what's the optimal settings for Divx (and Xvid) to get max quality playback?

Xvid works better, but I can't use AC3 sound... any suggestions aside from using Mpeg Layer 3?

As I understand it mp3 and AC3 are basically the only audio options. You are limited basically by the container (AVI) and the player. For instance it is possible (thanks to a hack by AlexNoe) to mux aac into an AVI, but the player would not support it. Also some of the players support vorbis, but AVI can't handle it. Guess DTS may be an option.

XviD is tricky as the optimal settings for quality probably mean that it won't playback at all. There is also the whole issue of lack of VBV which means that there is a possibility of bitrate spikes which will most likely cause the player to skip/freeze.

For DivX, I guess just use the profiles.

Also fail to see the link between XviD and AC3.
