A Modern Multi-Media MarvelThe other cool new addition on the BD80 is a USB jack right on the front panel behind a drop-down door (next to the SD card slot). This allows you to plug in a USB flash drive for playback of videos photos and MP3 music files. For video playback from USB drives the unit supports the DivX codec (and its variant “Xvid”). Some AVI files I tested could not be fully zoomed to fill the screen but they were at least presented in their correct aspect ratios which is more than I could say for the BD55. Many of the AVI files I tested could be zoomed to fill the screen without any geometric distortion. In terms of which Divx releases are supported the manual says codecs of DIV3 DIV4 DIVX DV50 and DIV6 are supported at up to 30 FPS and at resolutions of up to 720×576 pixels. Subtitle text files for Divx content are also supported.
