Hi Brian
1) It doesn't play XviD
2) Yes it can read from a flash drive memory stick (music, video or photos)
3) HDMI carries pictures and sound, so there must be another explanation. I don't have the player to hand anymore but I think there's an option to turn off the HDMI audio in the setup menu - check that.
Cheers,
Danny

This player DOES play all XviD video. I use it constantly from torrent downloads which are almost exclusively xvid which is an open source version of divx. I play them from an external hard drive thru the USB connection and have never had any problems.

Great review, looks like a nice player, three quick questions:
1: does it also play xvid encoded files?
2: I see it has a usb boot so i imagine it can read from a flash drive memory stick?
3: I got a new dell xps 1330, i was very pleased when i connected it to my TV, the picture was great. Problem is there was no audio :-( Is it correct that hdmi is for picture only? A lot of people will be confused by this, so it might be a good subject for an article to explain what leads people need.
Thanks :-)
