Okay, I've tried everything. I soft-resetted, formatted the CF card, even used one they specifically said would work.

Anyone notice that the MoviePlayer freezes your Clie and doesn't allow you to do anything? You just have to either let the movie finish, or soft-reset.

I ripped an 80mb "Family Guy" episode, and it just runs through without letting me stop it.

This is a known issue with the driver that still has to be worked out with an update. It seems its more common on High Quality movies than standard or long play movies. A user had a great tip about moving the cursor position, all you do is press stop, then move the cursor where you want to begin and press play again. (Thank you to whoever posted the tip). I'm sure this will all be solved with an update in the future, we're all sitting tight.

I got the same error last night trying the Movie player with the CF Card for the first time. Launching Movie Player with MS Masq on required a soft reset when the launcher froze after selecting the movie.

I get same error with my new Simpletech 1 gig card. I could use CF for movies with my old Lexar 80mb card. Has anyone figured this problem out? I wanted this large card for movies....now I'm just frustrated and moved the movie to memory stick again where it works just fine! I did install the update now...thinking that might help. Same result.

This issue is being looked at by Amir as I write this. Currently, the faster cards maybe more of a detriment than an asset. All these issues is best addressed in small baby steps then a giant leap. Please don't get frustrated, but please report any issues you may find, Thanks!
