"Have a Samsung BDP-1500 (UK)"
lucky you!
Have a Samsung BDP-1500 (UK) on firmware 2.0 and although it now plays divx on DVD I really wanted the BD on DVD which now seems to have been removed. It worked fine on firmware 1.3 reading other forums.
Has this feature been enabled again in the new 2.3 firmware?
Also love the Divx feature but is it possible to play divx from BD-R/BD-RE as so far all discs I have tried have come back with an error "unable to play disc". I'd really like to know if this is possible as I can fit all my TV shows on 25gb BD-R/BD-RE in Divx format, Divx on DVD play fine but limited storage on DVD now 25/50GB is possible on BD Discs.
