Yeah, haven't had any problems with my Philips DVP 642 also but external subtitle support could be better, you've got to press a whole bunch of buttons and remember some numbers to make then easier to read than the default subs. I got some other minor complaints, like no random feature for mp3 playback, can't switch audio channels for dual language mpeg1 video files, no .ogm playback etc.., but that's just me nitpicking, all in all a great player.
You forgot to mention that it can convert PAL -> NTSC also. Don't flash it to the new firmware though, version 1109, I flashed it and it didnt improve playback but it enables macrovision! The older verion was macrovision free and now I'm not able to go back to the old firmware.
