Coby TF-DVD7377 7-Inch DivX Compatible Portable DVD Player

Well, I initially wrote a favorable review on this unit, but after having used it now for a week or so, and having experienced how well it works with AVI files on the USB flash memory, I'm not much impressed and dissapointed. I was hoping for something better. This player will not read a USB flash drive larger than 4 GB. Also, higher quality AVIs don't play well. They become blocky, and digitized like the processor can't keep up. Even on the AVIs that seem easier for it to read, the motion is still jerky, and not smooth like a disc. I primarily needed this unit to play from a flash drive, and since it turns out to be 50/50, hit or miss, I have to advise anyone to pass this player by if you need to play from flash memory, and not the DVD ROM. I plan on returning it and seeking a higher quality unit that can reliably play from USB or flash memory.

This player exceeded my expectations. I expected it to play my divx files, which it does wonderfully. It outputs to TV and has a nice and easy to use remote. It came with all the necessary cables and was extremely easy to set up. It plays my regular DVD movies with ease.

The drawbacks? If you pause for too long, even when not using the battery, the unit shuts off after a while. If I have to walk away for 15 minutes, I'd like to resume when I return. There is no option to keep power on. Occasionally, a disc won't play right until I remove and reinsert the disc, although the menu has displayed perfectly.

Still, I'm very very happy with this unit and highly recommend it.

This portable DVD player is fantastic. It plays whatever you throw at it and the best part is I can carry 5 movies in one 4 gig thumb drive without having to carry along a stack of DVD's. The battery life is not too great at only about 4 hours but you can't beat that for the price of this player. It comes with all the needed accessories.
My only complaint is the case is made of lightweight plastic but you can't expect everything for the price I paid. I did get the extended warranty for only about $12.00 so In case it does break easily i am covered. The screen size for me is perfect and I can actually enjoy the movie with out having to lug around a large player (for that I would just use my laptop) I highly recommend this player

I bought this thinking I could connect a USB portable drive to this player, and play my divx movies on it, but I cannot. It will not recognize them. I have two, one is a 160 GB Fat 32 Western Digital Drive usb powered, and the other is a 500 GB, Fat 32 Self powered drive. It only allows me to put movies on a thumbdrive and plug it in. Luckily, I have an 8 GB thumb drive for my trip, but this is not what I wanted. I also tried putting the movies on a DVD-RW disk, and it didn't like that either. If this isn't a problem for you, then this is a good buy, if it is not, then I suggest looking for a Philips or a Toshiba that might play movies from the usb drive.

Coby has packed what i consider to be very
desireable features in this little wonder.
besides the obvious DVD content playback,
it handles media on CD, SD cards and
USB memory sticks, and DVD-RW's.

i pushed my playlist to a SD 2GB card
and it has been pumping the tunes since.

a very good piece of equipment for the
price so far. it's been 2 months.
vendor sent item quickly and it was
well packaged.

kudos Amazon!
