I have an XA2, but I didn't watch it on that particular machine tonight. I watched it on my Oppo regular upconverting DVD player. I'll check it on the XA2 tomorrow night and see how it works for me. By the way, what type of blank media did you use? Some brands of blank discs don't work well on HD-DVD players(in my experience at least) and also it won't work well if you burned to a DVD+R instead of a DVD-R.
