    Pros: Plays most codecs, but so do all the others.

    Cons: * NO DVD file Menu or chapter support.
    * Intermittent failure to find network shares
    * Apparent abandonment of the player by WD
    * problems and studdering with >25 FPS HD content.

    Summary: * NO DVD file Menu or chapter support. All the other players in he price range have it but WD.
    * Intermittent failure to find network shares, also a problem not found on other players.
    * Apparent abandonment of the player by WD, no response on firmware, botched firmware updates.
    * Known and documented problems and studdering with >25 FPS HD content.

    Get any of the other products in this category. If you have DVD rips all of them an play them with chapter advance and chapter back except for WD.

    "cinematics" it doesn't support Chapters, you obviously are technology challenged. this is a TECH site. Of the 10 players in its price range they all support chapters EXCEPT WD.
    The method you suggest will, as noted on tech sites, frequented take you to the NEXT movie, and does not advance you a chapter but some variable amount of time. On a mkv it can cause all kinds of crazy results.
    That is why the nubmer one requested feature on WD own site is chapter management. So don't come here with BS. This is CNET, not readers digest, people know what chapters are :)

    Has absolutely chapter support. All you need is to put the unit in fast forward or rewind mode. Then use the chapter forward or back key. It is that simple!
