Is C650 support subtitle ?

They all support subtitles if they are separate files with the same name as the movie files. However, it may not work through Alshare (DLNA) for any 2010 Samsung models.

---Firmware update Problem----

There is a new firmware available Ver. 1011.1 released on 28th Jan 2011.
After downloading this update file and installing into USB, there are 2 folders that is created in USB. However, as per the users guide, this should create only one folder in order to run on TV. (This is clearly mentioned as Caution!).

Note sure why this is happening.. did anyone of you face this probelm? Infact, the previous update did not create 2 folders and the update was successful.

i also bought this LCD tv few days ago. i have a question i hope you guys can help me.

i would like to buy a 500gb HDD to play lots of Bluray movies with a file size of more than 10gb to my Samsung Series 5 LA40C550.

my question is...

what is the maximum file size that this LCD TV can read? because i am going to play a movie with a file size more than 10gb?

and what will be the format of my HDD? NTFS or FAT32?
but the thing is you can only transfer max of 4gb to a FAT32 HDD?

i hope you guys could help me on this since we have the same LCD model.

I am having exact same problem for LA46C550. Were you manage to update the firmware? I am really not sure which folder to use. I tried with putting files from subfolder to root of USB (one folder at a time) and still nothing worked.
