I nearly bought a DK500 yesterday but after some research I cancelled my
order.
It seems there are a few technical problems that plague both the 339 and 500
models.
The 339 cant handle divx/xvid files with a packed bitstream (if you try the
movies apparently stutter). You have to fix the videos first on your pc and
make them suitable for the player.
The 500 model can handle packed bitstream movies, but cannot play widescreen
avi's properly. Basically any video file that isn't a 4:3 ratio (or a
square picture to the layman). Apparently its all to do with the widescreen
picture signal switching. The picture comes out looking squashed and the
only way to correct it is to use the zoom fucntion on your tv.
Theres a UK support forum here http://www.dkdivx.co.uk/forum/ and you can
read in more detail about the above.
