problems The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button (not 24P) - Blu-ray Forum

PanaPlasma · 02-07-2010, 09:15 AM

I bought the UK Version at Amazon some time ago.

When I play the movie, it seems not to be 24P on my TV (when I hit the pause button it shows "BD Video" and not "BD Video - 24P" as usual.

Except some documentaries and concert registrations almost all of my blu-rays are filmed in 24P.

In reviews I read always "1080p" and "24 fps" as specifications for the main movie.

So what's wrong here??? Could it be a bad disc?

Have you changed the settings on your player??

Do you need to update the firmware??

PanaPlasma · 02-07-2010, 10:41 AM

Firmware is up to date. Everything plays well. Not changed any settings.

Watched "Stardust", "Inglourious Basterds" and "X-Men 1" last week.

Just this disc doesn't mention "24P" on my screen.

What player do you have??

KubrickFan · 02-07-2010, 11:05 AM

My version says it's 24P, so I think it has to do with the settings on your player. I doubt that one copy of a pressing somehow wasn't done in 24P.

Have Panasonic blu-ray player (part of SC-BTX70 HTIB).

It's the only disc that should be "24P" that won't play as "24P". Everything else works perfect.

PanaPlasma · 02-07-2010, 12:23 PM

When I choose the more detailed "playback information" i get this:

Disc: 1080/24p VC1 True HD 5.1
HDMI: 1080/60p YCbCr4:4:4

Is this ok?

Shouldn't HDMI be: 1080/50p?

In my opinion that's the reason why my tv doesn't show "BD Video - 24P" in stead of "BD Video".

blu_sharpy · 02-07-2010, 01:05 PM

Yeah it should be 50HZ not 60HZ. What release do you have. It looks like 1080i and not 1080p from the specs you have given.

PanaPlasma · 02-07-2010, 03:18 PM

Two Disc edition from Warner Bros UK.

blu_sharpy · 02-07-2010, 04:47 PM

I will check that on my TV and report back

Matt865 · 02-07-2010, 05:58 PM

I have the Warner Bros UK 2 disc set. BDINfo says it's 1080p/23.976fps.

blu_sharpy · 02-07-2010, 06:02 PM

Update ---- Runs through my player at 24 FPS so no problems here.

PanaPlasma · 02-07-2010, 07:41 PM

Strange ... Could it be the HDMI-cable?

blu_sharpy · 02-07-2010, 07:42 PM

I wouldnt think it would be a problem with the cable. Can you try other films to make sure it is outputting in 1080/24p??

PanaPlasma · 02-07-2010, 08:57 PM

All other 1080p blu-ray discs work perfectly with 24P output (Braveheart, The Patriot, 3:10 To Yuma, Stardust, No Country For Old Men, Kill Bill 1 & 2, Inglourious Basterds, There Will Be Blood, Up, Wall-E, Matrix Trilogy, Spiderman Trilogy,...).

Only this film refuses 24P.

Checked for latest firmware updates, checked if 24P on my BRD & TV (Pana P42V10 is with 24P option too) were on. Settings should be ok too.

There shouldn't be any 50hz material on there at all. And 1080i/60hz is perfectly feasible and preferable to a PAL derived 1080i/50hz job.

PanaPlasma · 02-08-2010, 09:20 PM

Have no idea what's wrong with this disc.

Am I the only person in the world with a 1080i version?
