I love my dvd player
(5 out of 5) by nica on Mar 17, 2007 (ca)I purchased this dvd player almost 2 months ago, and am very happy with my purchace.It has a great picture, good optics, good sound, but depending if there are loud noises, you may need headphones. I used my walkman headphones,and they worked just fine. I have a friend with a no name brand, and you can't basically hear it without external speakers, so this was a concern for me. The sound is suffient, at least for the size of the speakers. I can sit a good few feet away and hear it just fine. The charge lasts a really long time. Well, I never played it for more then 3 hours, but the charge still remained. Plus I always charge it up before I store it, and when I plugged the battery back on the machine after a month, it was still fully charged. It comes with a remote which is a nice feature as well. I felt it was a good choice for the money, I am happy with my purchase.

Nice DVD player for the cost
(5 out of 5) by Mary E. Florent on Jan 30, 2007 (Haverhill, MA)The DVD's are very quite when played which was something I really wanted. I had purchased another player elsewhere and the sound of the dvd turning was so annoying I took it back. Great picture quality and sleek look as well. Well worth the price.

Just change your .avi extensions to .mpg!!!
(3 out of 5) by Candeass on Mar 22, 2005 (chicago,il)Ok bottom line, this player DOES play Divx/Xvid....what people have failed to mention is that the player does not like .avi extensions.....change your .avi extension to to .mpg and I guarantee it will work.
It really does not have fast forward/fast reverse buttons on the unit itself, you must use the remote which is uber gay but considering that I was limited to buying a unit from BestBuy, this one had the best features for the money I was willing to spend.
If you don't care about the Divx/Xvid thing, I would much rather go for Toshiba SD-P1600....the screen is one inch smaller, but it is much better from a color/contrast standpoint, not saying the MDP is horrible, but the Toshiba is better. Plus the toshiba has forward/reverse buttons on the unit and has Audio/Video input capability. I owned the Toshiba for a week before returning it for the MDP820....I wanted the Divx/Xvid capability....even though the P1600 is slightly better...

Buy Something Else, seriously
(1 out of 5) by The Province Family on Feb 7, 2007 (Southern California, USA)It didn't play and registered NO DISC with a brand new dvd installed. When I got one to work, it was fuzzy.
You have to put the volume at super duper high to even hear it.
it's pretty heavy, too. am going to return it.

NICE,but.
(3 out of 5) by Tradeand5 on Dec 7, 2006 (Planet Z)I got it and was VERY happy with it except it does not last very long with short battery life spam. You have to constantly chargling it when you are on the go...you get to see may be one movie and you are done. Is there anything else on the market that is as good design and quality as this, but last MUCH longer??
