Well when I took a demo of dv388, i had loeaded a dvd movie on the usb stick. It read the dvd menu immediately and I am confident that it can play dvd movies(vob files) from the USB stick.

I copied the files from DVD to USB on my Philips 5986 - it plays the files but it is jittery - non watchable - I suspect it is the USB 1.1
Divx etc work fine.

I am not sure about so much confusion about going for a dvd player.. all u need to know is your needs.. if u want to play divx/xvid/divx ultra/3ivx formats all in one then maybe u need to wait else go for the player that supports max of the formats playback and thats it...

personally I didnt noticed any drawback of having USB 1.1 in LG DV 388 player except that the fast forwarding and rewinding of movie is not up to the mark.. but to counter that we have time skip functionality and hence u can skip the movie to specified time...

Regardig max characters read support - LG dv388 can read upto 56 characters long file name (as per manual). but i have tried playing a movie name 58 characters in length and it recognized and played it perfectly
(A Wednesday.2008.1CD.PreDVDRip.Xvid.E-Subs ~Team IcTv~.avi)
as I remember, I have played movies with even bigger names and they all played perfectly (please note that I am talking about playing through USB port)

other than this.. manual states one limitation of player of not supporting having more than 650 files/folders on a disc.. hence while playing we need to be sure that our media (cd/dvd/usb) doesnt contains more than 650 files/folders in all hence people who r thinking of playing a dvd filled with mp3 songs may have a concern and want to test the player with a dvd with more than 650 songs [:P]

FF and Rew is not that bad infact in my demo I found it to be at par with 1080-pk which comes supposedly with a usb 2.0 !!

I have located another shop with dv 388 and he has asked me to come back at 4 pm today . So lets c, I may end up with a 388 today itself !

Listening to Audio Right now! As i use an av reciever to do the decoding it does not make a diff to me. However plan to watch lots of movies the next 4-5 days . Will come back with my comments .

@backbencher- is it possible to remove the program thing in the Music Menu .?? This will increase the viewable length of the MP3 songs on the menu !!

Hi ,
I wld like to know abt picture & sound quality both.

IMO, sound quality would not matter much if you use digital (optical/ coaxial) to send data to receiver as the digital to analog converion would happen in receiver.
