I've tried formatting my thumb drive several ways and I get an 'Unsupported Format" error everytime. The manual only states that it needs to be a supported format but no where does it tell you what that format is!

Inexpensive good quality DVD player

I was at Best Buy and just by chance this player caught my eye because of the thin size. It also up converts all dvds to near HD quality I can definetly tell a defference. Just make sure to have a HD tv and buy a nice hdmi cable. I wont say the price...

Upconversion all the way to 1080p is qutie nice for the price.Picture is at or near HD with HDMI hook-up. Very small and easy to access

NO DTS! I always play my movies in DTS when available but oh well Dolby is good enough for now.Kind of a crappy remote
