Problems with Kubrick DVDs - Blu-ray Forum

blurabbit · 10-29-2007, 01:39 AM

Hey guys I have a small problem I bought both Eyes Wide Shut and Clockwork Orange. Niether one would play when I got them home, I looked and there was a firmware update for my BDP-1000 I didn't have. No problem right? So I updated the firmware. Still no play, it goes to the loading screen with multi-colored balls then ejects the disc. I have tried the discs on other players and they work just fine. Has anyone had this problem or any advice you can give? Thanks.

Are you taking about DVD's as your title suggests or Blu-ray versions of those two movies?

They are the Blu-Ray versions.

Well, if those 2 movies have BD+ protection or were produced like Fox' FFROTSS and The Day After Tomorrow then you're out of luck as of right now. As I understand it only the BD-P1200 and BD-P1400 have gotten firmware updates to be able to play them. I heard people who own the BD-P1000 still can't play them.

Once again it is just conjecture on my part, but if the new WB movies have those extra added protections then you'll have to wait until Samsung issues another firmware for the BD-P1000.

Samsung always seems to be behind in releasing firmware updates for their players.

I own the Samsung 1000 all the firmware updates and have had some minor issues with playback. It will spit the disc out and say it can't read it then I'll just put it back in and it will work fine. Sometimes it will spit them out, sometimes it won't. Depends on whatever it feels like doing.
I have watched Full Metal Jacket and The Shining and skipped through some of 2001 on it with no problems.

I recently loaded the latest firmware update from Samsung for the BD-P1000. It plays the Fox titles (FF:ROTSS, The Day After Tomorrow) perfectly.

I have not gotten any of the Kubrick BDs yet, so cannot speak to any specific problems with those discs. I suspect, however, that they don't pose any new problems and the latest firmware will address the situation.

I believe that the original poster should recheck to be sure that they have the latest firmware update. Remember, it has the same file # on the download page at Samsung.com, but it has the later revision date listed.

Good luck,

Lee
