I have the Phillips DVP-arggg, I can look up the numbers when I get home. I want to say 256, but really, who remembers their model number? (OK, I did up until a week ago. Now I'm kind of sad that information is gone.)
Anyhow, it's played all my professional DVDs fine. It plays professional music CDs just fine. It plays the Vividcon DVDs fine. It plays any file types I toss at it on a CD fine. (avi, mpg, mp4, wmv) (with the same blue screen menu and letter limitation mentioned above.) I did have issues playing a DVD made from iMovie of my one vid straight through. It would do it fine sometimes, and stutter other times. I think the bit rate was too high.
As for playing files burned as data files on a DVD, it will recognize the disk and play fine with DVDs burned from Toast. However, it won't play data DVDs burned from disc-copy in finder as that does not "close" the DVD. (Disc copy closes the CDs, so they're fine.)
I can't remember if it FFs through home-made stuff fine. I think I had an issue with it, but it might have been my issue with the remote that was causing me to mess up.
