Default Optiarc, Firmware and Spiderman Problems

First off, I wanted to say that when the Optiarc BD ROM BC-5500A ATA Device plays Blu-Rays, it looks great. But therein lies the problem, WHEN it plays. Upon purchasing my new HP laptop with said device installed in it, I also purchased 5 Blu-ray Discs. Con-Air, Training Day, and the Spiderman Box Set, which has all 3 Spiderman videos in it. Con-Air and Training Day looked and played great.

But when it came time to watch the spiderman videos I would insert them, HP Quickplay would auto start, and where the video should have been flashes a Spiderman logo for half an instant (barely noticable) and then goes to a black screen, where it stays that way until i close the program. I even let it sit at the black screen overnight to see if it was a loadtime problem, it wasnt, I woke up 7 hours later to find the same dreary black screen.

Anyone have any clue where i can find Firmware for this device? My laptop is the DV9730NR made by HP. The most im able to find about Optiarc is that they are mainly a Euro company that is part of or was bought buy Sony.

Thanks in advance for any help.
