Toshiba has recently introduced new firmware (4.0) for all of its HD-DVD players. You can go to this page , select your player, then download the specific FW. Remember that you need to burn the iso image of the FW to disc then follow instructions. I am sure many of you still use a Toshiba HD-DVD player, such as the XA2, to upconvert SD DVDs. This FW fixes , among other things, the jaggies that were seen when outputting 1080p/24 to displays capable of displaying that resolution. It is to Toshiba's credit that they continue to support their HD-DVD players.

I haven't done the last one yet. I should get off my butt and get it done. Thanks for the heads up.

Yes, very cool of them to continue supporting their players with new firmware.
You know, I really think they should reconsider their stance on Blu-ray and get to work on a player that just happens to play HD DVDs as well. How much more can it cost to manufacture?

DL'ed the update and burned it as an ISO. Installed it on my A2 in a few minutes.

I retired my A2 yesterday and replaced it with a PS3 ... didn't seem too long ago that I received an update from Toshiba, maybe 3.4?

I still use my A2 for DVD upconversion. I may throw in an HD-DVD every now any then as well. Lately I have just been watching bluray on the PS3 though... but hey, why not keep the FW up to date?

I'd update my firmware on my A2, but my bulb is still burnt out on my Z3 projector and I need to wait a couple of weeks to get a new one, but that is another story...
No Blu-Ray for me at this time. $26 per movie is a bit high, and we don't want quite enough movies a month to do Netflix since we are busy running kids around.

I have to remember what burning software I downloaded to do this last time... I haven't updated the firmware since I bought it! EDIT: Just checked my PC, and I can't find ANY burning program that I downloaded to burn an image file. Little Help?
