Stop downloading the movies and rip them yourself, then you can create the correct files for your player.

anybody have any real answers?

[Nelson37]

Most standalone players can be picky about certain formats. One file had a much higher bitrate was all I noticed, but that could be the problem or it might be something else. Could just be a corrupted file.

I would recommend either check a dedicated forum for that particular device or test a large number of files whose parameters you are familiar with.
