Yep, I believe all the current implementations suck the wang though, unless I'm mistaken and something cool is available now :\

I have the Kiss DP-450 and it's excellent. It can play divx files, mp3s, ac3 sound, ogg vorbis audio files etc that are recorded on cd-r, dvd-r, and so on. It also plays mpeg2 files without the need for authoring a dvd for them as it can read any cd or dvd just like an OS.

The only limitations of the player as it is sold at the moment is that 1) It has a max bitrate of 3Mbits/s and 2) it can't do divx3.11 but BOTH of those problems are fixed by firmware updates

It's a really nice player. The next model up (DP-500) comes with an ethernet card :O

It does work with xvid.

what FourCC and quantizer settings though?

It accepts the XVID fourcc and is compatible with all xvid options except gmc, qpel and I can't get interlaced encoding to work yet but I think that's a known xvid incompatibility.

Basically you can do any settings with the xvid stable build or use a developer build to add b-frames. Other advanced profile options in xvid aren't supported fully yet but at the rate the firmware upgrades are adding functions I wouldn't be surprised if they managed to get full qpel and gmc support working.
