JPEG            -> No Problems

Notes:
Mixed file types on one CD are not recommended.
For example if you have a DVD-R with a few MPEG-1 files and a few DivX files
the DivX files are the only ones that are selectable and playable.

Volume -/+ did not work on firmware prior to v2.6.5 with DivX movies. 

FastFW and FastRW do not work
on DivX files or MP3s. There is a Time Search function to jump foward in the file.
Very buggy operation on DivX 3.11 files.

Some DivX files need to be zoomed to fill full screen, Example: a XviD file 352x288
plays in a litte box where as a MPEG1 352x288 file fills full screen. 
With the latest firmware there is now an option to automatically 
bring MPEG4 files to full screen. However if they are 
a non- standard size you will still have to manually zoom the video.

Plays DVD+R/RW too.
