#1 - If you happen to only make part way through a movie and gotta continue next time fast forwarding is a major bitch. The first 20 mins or so forward at a fairly decent rate but after that it is SLOOOOOW as fuck and it's annoying sitting there waiting for it to slowly creep to wherever you need it to.

#2 - An even more annoying problem. If you watch movies with parts that have a really high bitrate. Usually happens more in actions movies. When it comes to those parts it jitters because the USB can't handle it.

So now I just upload everything onto my ps3 which solves all my problems but will try this TVersity thing soon.
Maybe if you have a piece of shit flash drive. If you get something that has a consistent, high transfer rate, it's not a problem. If you get a piece of shit half-price special from Futureshop, Staples, Best Buy, etc., you'll likely have this problem.

Personally, I just use an HTPC (old gaming PC) and external hard drives.
