LG DVX 8x51 UNOFFICIAL FIRMWARES by br0max
This site is dedicated to firmware modifications I have done to LG DVX 8x51 players.
The reason I've started to make these modifications was the lousy DivX subtitles features on my player.
The subtitles were too small, there was annoying background color, no line wrapping etc.
I have spent a lot of time to address these subtitles issues and now the player started to look
as it should have been when I bought it. I hope my firmware modifications make you happy too
and improve you DivX viewing pleasure.
Enjoy,
br0max
