will the ds play movies?

The PSP is considered a more powerful movie player because the screen is larger and because the discs hold more. However with modern movie formats there’s no need for a full length movie to be 4000 megabytes big. With DivX or Windows Media 9 formats DVD quality movies can be made small enough to fit on a single 700 megabyte CD. But That’s Too Big Isn’t It?Unto itself it is. A 700 megabyte movie won’t fit on a 128 megabyte Nintendo DS memory card. However you don’t need a DVD quality movie to look good on a handheld device. Where-as 700 megabytes will give you a good looking movie on almost any size screen you’re likely to find in a living room the Nintendo DS and PSP screens are much smaller.
Strong onboard multimedia playback

When it comes to onboard multimedia playback the Philips’ implementation has an edge over the competition in terms of connectivity and format compatibility. The inbuilt twin USB ports support portable media players digicams and thumbdrives while its 8-in-2 card reader is compatible with CompactFlash Secure Digital and Memory Stick among others. Playable multimedia format-wise the set readily accepts MP3 MP3 Pro JPEG XviD MPEG-1 MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 plus version four and five of the popular Web-centric DivX videos. Though we acknowledge Philips’ long-time European roots the provision of two SCART terminals in substitute for a single component-video socket is a bad call that does not go down well in our books. The same goes for the Common Interface slot and network port which are not even documented in the user manual. The former are unfortunately up to 1080i-ready depriving the 9731 of the bragging rights of a true full-HD badge.
