I have an Alba 114 bought from Argos in November.

a) What is the highest rate SVCD anyone has played smoothly? Whilst a regular VCD, SVCD, and commercial DVDs play fine, a 3000 kbps SVCD stutters lightly, 4000,5000,6000 etc much more. I'm guessing the cd reader is not quick enough

b) Anyone know how to check firmware level, and what the best to date is? Anyone got an upgrade from the Alba helpline?

Thanks
