  1. Other than the annoying animation you get when selecting a menu item, my SMP reacts quite fast. I’ve wrote this before: a friend of mine had sluggish UI and lockups that stopped when he swapped his expensive HDMI cable to a non-brand one. No gurantees.

  2. Let’s see how many people vote on this. Personally I’m also always on AUTO.

  3. Usually TS has less problems than MKV. Depending on a file’s FPS you’d need to be on AUTO for proper playback to avoid pulldown issues.

  4. Press the option key during playback. As Tony said, it works only on text subs, not on VobSub/PGS which is a shame since this could compensate for overscan/resolution issues (AFAIK is only possible on XBMC)
