if you get one DS you will need the hack to unlock the multiregion,i tried playing Citizens Xvids on it and they come up,i select what i want to watch,but then only sound,i talked to OPPO about it and they said it only plays straight Xvids and Divx no Hybrids,they also told me if i send them a sample they can see what to change to make it work,this place has very good customer service,they answer emails almost immediately,and this player can be firmware upgraded ny the user,very nice
thanks again Jay for pointing me in that direction
