Hi Paul
I have a couple of Dune players (a 101 and 301) and they have played
everyt=
hing I have asked them to. Never quite got around to it but they also
supp=
ort control via the mymovies iPad app if that's of interest.
If there is any you want me to try file format / bit rate wise then let me
=
know.
Cheers
Brian
