Do most divx/xvid/mpeg4 DVD players recognize SRT subtitles??

I want to recommend a DVD player to a friend who is not tech savvy, as I know a regular media player is the best option. But to play xvid encodes with SRT subs, would most any divx DVD player recognize SRT subs?? I know all of my Philips DVD players in the past, which played divx, recognized subs, but I do not know about other brands.

Thanks for your input.
