Hey guys,
I have a relatively new Pioneer DVD player which has a USB input, so I can download .avi movies off the net, transfer them onto a USB stick and play them through.

Now the problem is some movies freeze. So much so that I have to pull out the power plug of the DVD player to reboot.

The info:
A certain movie will ALWAYS freeze, and another movie will never freeze. (ie, movie A will freeze each time it is played, where as movie B will never freeze)

I re-downloaded movies that freeze, and they will still freeze, and I used different USB sticks etc and the movie will still freeze.

I played the movies on PC and they work.

What could this be? It's really frustrating
