DVD Player Recommendation

I'm looking to buy a new DVD player and am looking for a recommendation. The two features I'd like for it to have are record and a USB drive. Thanks.

That would be fine too since I've heard converting a file from avi to divx can greatly reduce its size, yet not effect the quality much.

Check out Jellyfish.com. I find that divx and mpeg4 capability is generally still too far out there for home players/recorders to offer, as dvd video remains pretty much the standard format for dvd producers. The Samsung dvd-hd1080p7 player supports mpeg-4 and divx formats for less than $100. The Samsung dvd-ar650 recorder also supports these more advanced formats for under $300.
