DVDs look good too (even without the upscaling), but the DVD drive is very noisy.  (You can slow it down through a setup menu, but I had problems with it not wanting to come out of pause if I did that.)<br><br>There is a user forum at <a href="http://www.iodata.com/usa/forum" rel="nofollow">http://www.iodata.com/usa/forum</a>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Nigel Gamble]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 12th 2006 7:35PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on DiVX- and WMV-HD player both hits and misses]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/07/12/divx-and-wmv-hd-player-both-hits-and-misses/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/07/12/divx-and-wmv-hd-player-both-hits-and-misses/</guid><description><![CDATA[I bought one of these players last year, and it's quite good.  PQ was excellent for DVDs, DivX, and MPEG Transport Stream files.  I had a lot of problems playing back higher bitrate MPEG2 TS files but the most recent firmware update included a feature to spin the drive faster, and that solved the problem.  If you want one with a digital output JVC sells an identical model as the SRDVD-100U.  And as far as I know the player will pass a DTS signal with no problem.  The only drawback I found was the player only supports external USB drives formatted in FAT16 or 32, which limits file sizes to 4GB.  But you can hook it up to a network and stream files from a PC or Mac.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Dave]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 12th 2006 7:57PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on DiVX- and WMV-HD player both hits and misses]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/07/12/divx-and-wmv-hd-player-both-hits-and-misses/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/07/12/divx-and-wmv-hd-player-both-hits-and-misses/</guid><description><![CDATA[I've hade one of these since they first came out (about year and a half ago.) Great unit although some firmware issues. You can downgrade to a less buggy firmware the WILL upconvert DVD's for you. (October 2005 was a good one.) If you roll your own HD DVD discs, this is the way to go at least until the format war is settled between BlueRay and HD-DVD. It does do DTS without a problem. While the 4GB file size limit is a problem, but only for USB devices, a UDF formated DVD will do a MPEG2/DivX/WMV9 file over 4GB no problem on a DL-DVD. Also with Home media server, this is also not a problem since it's streamed from a computer (if comes with the software for that) or Network storage (like my ReadyNAS.) The file size limit is determined by the server only. If also supports Windows Media connect and I can even play MovieLink movies on it via DRM through Windows Media Connector.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Scott S]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 13th 2006 12:43AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on DiVX- and WMV-HD player both hits and misses]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/07/12/divx-and-wmv-hd-player-both-hits-and-misses/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/07/12/divx-and-wmv-hd-player-both-hits-and-misses/</guid><description><![CDATA[Nigel:<br><br>I'm not sure if you're aware of this development, but it is possible to re-flash your player to an earlier version that supports rollback.
