Problem with BD Resident Evil: Extiction
I just picked-up the BD boxed set of all the Resident Evil films. The first two worked fine. when I press play on the third, the music starts and then the video shows interview segments. Returned it thinking the disc was defective, but the exchanged version had the same problem. Any thoughts?
|
What player are you using? I tried it on my Sammy 5000 and got the same. It did however, play perfectly on my Sammy1000. Someone else on the forum had the same prob and states that this was a 1.1 disc that would require a FW Update to properly process the info.
|
i'm using the samsung bd-up5000. i went on their website and couldn't find a firmware update.
|
Same here. The firmware update is supposedly in the pipeline so, for now we wait.
|
Return your Samsung 5000 and get a PS3
|
I think there's a problem with Resident Evil: Extinction no matter what.
|
I watched it on my PS3, no problem besides it being a bad movie.
|
I feel for the the people with problems, but I have to say this thread is yet another reminder of how slow Samsung is to release firmware.
I love my Sammy DLP, but I can't see buying any of their BD players. |
I got this from Blockbuster Online. First time I put the disc in the Panasonic, it tried to load but would give up and the player stopped. I reloaded again and it worked. But it took an extremely long time to load up. I'm sure due to Java.
|
Yep. A 1.1 disc on 1.0 players is going to be problematic at best.
Thankfully, my PS3 plays it flawlessly. |
....and the Profile mess begins now! ;)

It begun a while ago. It's just going to get WORSE now, as previous HD-DVDs show that Warner loves their interactivity. |

As 2008 progresses, I would expect more and more discs will be profile 1.1. Thus far there have been only a few, but with the 1.1 players announced at CES and the PS3 recently upgraded to 1.1, I think 1.1 discs will become the norm very quickly - which is very bad for the early stand alone player owners.

But I wonder, will 1.1 be it? Will it have any issues in the future if/when a movie uses the 2.0 technology or will those players be able to upgrade to 2.0? This whole profile thing gets confusing to me sometimes :p |

This whole profile thing gets confusing to me sometimes :p 2.0 = BD Live! That requires an Ethernet port. Thus far, the 1.1 player(s) available do not have one which would make it impossible to update to 2.0 Therefore, the PS3 is STILL really the only "safe" option unless you want to wait for the 2.0 standalone players |

If the Panasonic BD30 gets down to $250, I'll buy otherwise I think I'm out. I just don't find that much value in the PS3 since I very rarely play games (I mean, I'm perfectly content with my first gen PS2 and Madden 05, lol).
I bought Ps3 for 2 reasons. 1) Safest investment for a bluray player, both from a functional standpoint and from the aspect that if Bluray failed it would still be a good PS2/PS3 gaming box. 2) I can't get Rock Band for my Wii :D |

It is almost like owning a home theater PC. |
It's not an issue with profiles, it's an issue with a certain player. I have zero problems playing this disc on my PS3, Panny BD10 (1.0) or Samsung BDP-1000 (1.0).
|
The only thing the PS3 lacks is the display that shows the running time. I hate that I have to hit a button to see how much time is left.

It is almost like owning a home theater PC. I was going to sit out until later this year anyway so I'll see what happens then. I'd like to get into BR but it sucks that the "safe" bet (like Damed said) is only through the PS3. Oh well, there's a lot that could happen in 2008. |
