Answer 6

If money is no object buy a player that will support BluRay, HD-DVD, DVD with Divx certification. A double sided dual layer BluRay disk can fit in upwards of 70 movies @ 700MB each. (25GB+25GB). [This will help in compressing your DVD's and fitting it onto one disk to reduce clutter and increase portability.]

Note: As HD-DVD players are being phased out that support may no longer be valid.

OR

You can buy an upconverting Divx(MP4) DVD player which will play most formats except for BluRay and HD-DVD. The upconverting will remove the black bars that are visible in MP4 movies.

Make sure your TV is compatible (HDMI/DVI/D-SUB) for upconversion to work as the DVD player will have an HDMI out. If not, a Monitor will also do as HDMI to D-SUB and HDMI to DVI  cables/adapters are available in the market.

However with the HDMI to D-SUB/DVI method the sound will be have to routed using Audio out to a Home theater. For upconversion outside of a DVD player one can also buy a Upconverting receiver or box.

I leave the research upto you as personally I have owned a Philips DVP-642 and currently using a DVDR3400 and I was satisfied.

If a screen fit matters, I have also used the LGDN788 (HDMI to DVI) and it was great.

Also remember, these Divx players do have MP3/JPEG support and also support certain subtitle formats too.

Cheapest alternative for a BluRay player which plays MP4 encapsulated movies however, will be a PS3 console [don't forget the games, internet surfing and the ability to double up as a computer]
