Great. If you need a sample file, I could rip just a chapter or two using the same settings and post it to the appropriate ticket in trac. > > 2) Whenever there is a lot of movement on the screen, a big sweeping > > motion of the camera, the movement gets a bit jerky as if it's > > dropping frames.

Will investigate on that issue. The files for which this happened were from eMusic.com, which names its files as what appear to be random numeric strings. Perhaps the player is playing the files in numerical/alphabetical order instead of using the ID3 track number when browsing by folder. Let me know if you need any more information about any of these. Thanks for the fast response! I'll continue sending feedback as I get a bit more use out of elisa. Cheers, Brad Griffith
