Here are my 2 cents after a few weeks of playing with Jamba! XDVD 1000:

1. When changing the divx/xvid subtitles by pressing the subtitle key on the remote, the movie gets frozen, sometimes up to 1 minute (!) or so. That is very annoying when you have 6 movies on a dvd and you have to wait this long until you reach the 6th subtitle.

2. Sometimes, when performing the above operation the player doesn't react anymore to any commands at all. The only solution is then power off - power on.

3. When a 1 line subtitle follows a 3 lines subtitle, the very top line of the 3 lines subtitle is not erased before the 1 line subtitle is displayed. It stays on the screen together with the 1 line subtitle.

4. The volume keys on the remote have no effect

5. I have also noticed a problem with DivX 3 movies. The image gets frozen (for a few seconds) quite often, while the sound and subtitles are running smoothly.

Otherwise, I like the image quality both on DVD's and DivX/Xvid.

6. mp3 VBR seems not to be supported.

To solve 5. and 6. you have to re-encode the movie (i.e. XViD+CBR using VirtualDub) before burning it.
