The BDP7300 supports the DivX Ultra WMV MP3 WMA and JPG files formats and there is a healthy 1GB internal memory for downloading and saving any BD Live material you choose to download. Until we get our hands on one of these players we can't confirm rumours that it is the fast loading Blu-ray player around. What the Philips BDP7300 does offer for around £249 when it is launched later this month is the looks to make it one of the most stylish disc players around; and a spec which makes it excellent value for the price.

The problem with SVCDs was that they took quite a lot of space (most long-ish movies required 3 CDs) and the fact that a better contender was already making its way to the “throne”. Sometime in 2002 a format called DivX 
— yes the smiley is part of its original name — made finally its breakthrough and became the most popular video format. The original format wasn’t actually a format at all but a mere hack of Microsoft’s MPEG-4 implementation. Microsoft in its wisdom had crippled its MPEG-4 in a way that it required Microsoft’s own WMA audio format to be used as the audio track. As the WMA was subpar choice for most people DivX hack emerged that allowed Microsoft’s MPEG-4 video to be combined with MP3 audio. Year or so after the DivX gained ground the guy behind the original hack added with financial backing and other developers created a “proper” MPEG-4 based video format that they began to call as DivX (without the smiley face).
