Now, I've just wasted 20 min .... Read more

I have had this player for about a week now.

I have tested this player with a few movies (Spiderman 3, Full Metal Jacket, and the Planet Earth series), and fortunately, I have not run into any of the problems that other users have encountered (i.e. movies not playing, freezing, ....
