Hardware based Support of Un-Certified DivX Features

Hi - How good is the support of 'Global Motion Compensation', 'Quarter Pixel', and 'Adaptive Mulitple Consecutive B-Frames' in actual stand-alone DivX-players? I would like to buy such a device for X-Mas. A reasonably good support for sub-titles would be nice too (Indeed i'm absolutly not familar with this). Are there brand-devices on the market that are able to handle that all? _______ Edit: Cool, a partial answer i just have found in ''

If we only speak of DivX then there are 2(3) chipsets with full support of all features, the Mediatek 1389, the Zoran Vaddis 7 chipset and the one used in Sonys new divx players (but i think its just uses a relabeled Mediatek) Currently no player can play Xvid+GMC, the Sony does not play Xvid at all. Brand-players with these chipsets are for example Philips 720SA,Yamaha 550,Pioneer 575 (Mediatek), Sony DVP-NS765P,DVP-LS785V,DVP-NS955 (Sony), Samsung 745,945,244 (Zoran) Biggest problem are the subtitles. Sony dont support them at all, Yamaha has pure white text, Philips black transparent border around white transparent text, Samsung a transparent black bar with white text. Dont know how the Pioneer look like. You should also have a look at the upcoming new Sigma chipset with may outperfom the others.

Thanks for the detailled advice! This Sigma chipset sounds good. I hope it will be availabel soon. By the way, is the right homepage!?
