Solved the bug when not displayed the first character in .sub subtitles. 4. Unlimited number of characters for subtitles displayed in max. 2 or 3 lines. 5.

Added support for the following Language Code Pages: 1250, 1251, 1252, 1253, 1254, 1255, 1257. 8. Denver 438 v3: You can play any subtitle from CD/DVD/Folder Subtitles characteristics in the firmware: The subtitle font can display up to 52 characters/line because the area for displaying subtitles is extended and the size is very similar to movie subtitles of TV Stations. The subtitles are in lowered positions and displayed from bottom to top. You can see the subtitles files (.sub and .srt) in file browser. This is good for checking if the subtitle have the same name as the movie. You cannot select and play the subtitles because is not supported.

I Have a AMD XP 1800+ and take 1 hour to finish the job. But sometimes some avi take longuer.

Some dvds9 with a movie with more than 1 hour and 45 minutes freezes in the midle and don´t play again. I have do turn off the player and after a few tries it works again. Some dvds like Hulk, Gladiator and Braveheart are doing me that! Don't know why! I've got the last firmware(24 Augost) and nothing. It always did this! Could be a problem with dust and needed to clean the dvd with a dvd cleaner or something else? Everything else plays fine!

The ù character does'nt exist. It needs another firmware upgrade

(Sugestion: less than 13 chars so you can see the all the name on the screen ) managed to put several .avi files and related .srt files in a single DVD and it WORKS ;) .avi identified as "Div3 Low Motion" by gspot program don't work well div3 Fast motion, divx4 divx5 xvid work (but probably not every version of codec)

You can confirm that by pressing "setup" and the numbers 1379 on your remote control. The only format supported, until now, is .srt. My experience is that the name of the .srt shall be the same as the .avi. The subtitles are not perfect yet, they are: 1) Align to the right, 2) Don't have shadow (unreadable in white background images) 3) Sometimes are cutted (don't know if there is a maximum number of characters for each subtitle)

Somebody wrote about a firmware-upgrate taht did the trix, the 2.06 version. How do I flash it, and where do I find this firmware? Or do I not need it, when I have put the MTS1389.BIN in the player?

I've a good impression, but, so far, I encountered 2 problems in reading DivX movies: 1st - Subtitles are cutted, it seems that there is a maximum number of charaters per line. 2nd - In one of my movies, there was a problem with the audio. It seems that some sounds couldn't be played (I didn't check what audio codec was used). The final conclusion is: Very good Quality/Price relation.
