Page 6 of Advice on DVD Recorders with DivX / XviD playback ..

Finally got mine back today, after the no show on Tuesday, i phoned them up, and they said we never said that. It seems to be going good so far, its played the most problematic dvds fine so far, and as i said the picture is superb when it does work.

Got mine back last night, a replacement (checked serail numbers).

First complaint, cables and manual missing from box!!
Connected up and it still has the faint vertical lines on DVD playback!

Going to phone up this morning and ask for my money back!

I can`t recommend this recorder as it`s not met any of my expectations:
Progressive Scan setup, locks up the machine on MPEG playback.
Vertical lines on DVDs
RGB too bright
RGB scart doesn`t pass though in standby, and loses WSS.

Update....

Phoned SCAN and explained it was a replacement with the same fault.
They said I could try another or get a refund, I got my money back.

Think I`ll wait for the next generation of recorders before buying another.

dfarry,


How much did you play for the Targa recorded out of Lidl??

Well i have just contacted Simply Computers or Misco or whatever they have just changed their name to for a refund, as the player now skips its way through almost every dvd i own, it freezes for about 10-15 seconds every couple of minutes. The faint white lines that SuperPP had trouble with are present, and there is a huge(about an inch thick) purple line across the top of the picture, which is only present in RGB mode.

So I can safely say this dvd player is pathetic, and i wouldnt recommend an ellion dvd player to anyone.

Sorry to hear that some of you have had major problems. They really seem to have quality issues

On the plus side (for me at least) I don`t have any major problems with DVD playback (no white lines, etc.) and the new firmware has fixed the cropping of 16:9 DivX files.

Overall I`m still delighted with it.

Looks like there`ll be a HDD version of the DVR-530S soon-the DVR-950S

Also it seems most new Ellion DVD Recorders are now able to read DivX files although this is still not written in the specs!?
