Then you have not heard of this:

http://www.techtastic.ca/reviews3/dvp642.html

Which, even though that review does not state it explicitly,
will play all sorts of things besides divx. See the customer
reviews for that player at amazon:

It is certainly nowhere near as good as MPlayer, but the
customer reviews are many and generally good. I ordered
one... for $65 it's hard to resist. I will review it and
post a link to the review here as soon as it arrives.
