What kind of DivX files can the lg V181 play? Can it play avi files?

Yes, I know Panasonic DVD S48, if your movie file is right divx avi movie file, you can directly transfer the divx avi movie file to your usb disk and play on your Panasonic DVD S48, but if your movie files isn\'t divx avi movie file, you have to use a right software to convert your movies to right divx avi movies, then transfer to your usb disk, convert any movies to divx avi movies.

figured this out, lg dp122 uses DivX Home Theater profile, so the technical specs of the video must match that.
Those specs can be found here: http://www.divx.com/files/DivX-Profiles_Tech-Specs.pdf

No! these units are pre-programed from the factory, you would need to go online to LG and contact customer support and the technical department to see if this is possible.

you can't and DIVX is an AVI format. MKV is an entirely different encoding format. There are no TVs or DVD players that support MKV. Also you will not get a DVD player that will paly BlueRay. DVD and BluRay require 2 different lasers on the drive to read the format so your software will not allow for this through a USB or hdmi either. You have what you have and there is nothing you can do aside from using the PC the movies were pirated from and connect it to the TV.

LGDV6H wont play mp4. IT plays well mkv, avi and other formats.You will have to convert files to mkv to play and its very easy. Download mkvtoolnix from http://www.bunkus.org/blog/ and use the program mkvmerge. add your files and mux it. BEWARE after adding and before muxing please select each track and go to 'extra option' and select in compression 'none'. Then mux it and play the mkv file. Trust me it works. It has worked for me.

Divx compatibility with this player is limited as follows; available resolution size of Divx is under
720x576 pixel - file name Divx subtitle is avail by 56 characters - if number of the screen is over 30/sec the unit may not operate norm - playable Divx file avi,mpg. .mpeg - playable codec format
DIVX3.xx - DIVX4.xx - DIVX5xx -XDIV - MP43 - 31VX - if the video and audio structure of recorded
file is not interleaved, either video or audio is outputted.- if the fie is rec GMC the unit supports only
1 point of the record level - may be helpful!

If you can see the DivX or Xvid logo on the front then YES.

get divx codec

it can only play files with .vob file format(that is mpeg1 or mpeg2 video encoding format)
or you can try .avi files(divx video encoding)
source:personal experience,i have the same dvd player

The viewty will play .avi (divx) and MP4 files providing the display resolution is not above 320x240. If the the display resolution is above this for either format, you will receive a "file type is not supported" error. Please be aware that the viewty CAN play Divx .avi, Xvid .avi, .3GP and MP4, but only if they are not above that resolution.
