PS3 firmware 2.01 problems. - Blu-ray Forum

Bullseye · 12-12-2007, 10:04 PM

Okay this is the first BD i have had problems play on my PS3. I have just updated to FW 2.01 and still nothing. It plays the WB home enterainment intro and then it freezes at the menu. Its the unrated edition. When it asks to choose the Directors or Your edition of the movie. Is there a fix?

I thought I remember something about removing the forced 24 frames.

Bullseye · 12-12-2007, 10:07 PM

What does that involve?

owa · 12-12-2007, 10:18 PM

There is a setting in the PS3 options that you can set to 24p or auto (or maybe off). I just left it whatever the default is.

Anyway, works fine here with the PS3 but I don't have a 24p capable display so it's probably off for me.

I have tried it about 6 times on both of my PS3s (the 60gig and 40gig). Sometimes it won't even get to the menu stage on the 40gig and give the error "This video cannot play (80029940)". Is it a faulty disc?

Since i installed this firmware update I have been having problems playing some movies.

Return to House on the Haunted hill cannot get beyond the menu on both my PS3s (40 and 60). On the 40 it even gives the error (80029940).

Then I tried to play Harry Potter one and it freezes on chapter 21. This is a real pain in the ass. Anyone else having these problems. Both are WB titles

i think owa is right, you have to go into your settings in your ps3 menu, go under bd settings and change the one that says bd output 24 fps. that is probably on automatic or set to on, you have to turn that option off. If that doesnt work than I don't know what's wrong with it.

or its your playstation 3 saving you from a subpar film .

ClaytonMG · 12-13-2007, 05:12 AM

You should see the stuff on Disney.. the Pixar shorts and Pirates 3 have problems if you're running 24fps.

Bullseye · 12-13-2007, 06:49 AM

Is there going to be a solution?

Time to start nagging Level 2 Tech Support at Sony. Get to a Level 2 technician and explain the symptoms. Don't stop at the frontline Level 1 call center people.

Call and complain. Everyone.

Once the profile 1.1 firmware is out the door we'll be screwed. The time to complain is NOW before the the next firmware release candidate has gone to QA. (Trust me on this... I'm a software developer for a big financial software company. This is how it works. Level 2 techs are what feeds the developers who will fix it....otherwise it goes nowhere.)

Bullseye · 12-13-2007, 09:29 AM

Am I the only person who has had problems with this title?

andyparhelia · 12-13-2007, 09:47 AM

I'll check it for you when I get home with HP 1 - I had to upgrade to 2.01 last week to get some stuff out of the PS Store

Cheers Andy.

Bullseye · 12-13-2007, 10:07 AM

BTW someone mentioned that there is a default which may need to be changed. I cannot get past the menu on the House title and the HP title began to freeze and skip around chapter 21.

Is there a specialised disc or player cleaner I might need?

Came across this on AVS. Seems that PoTC 3 was having similar problems at menu stage. Hopefully this will work out.

I just got off the phone with Disney and i got mine to work and it sounds like it a simple fix to the problem, you have to go to your settings screen of your PS3, then go to BD/DVD settings, go to near the bottom where it says BD 1080p 24Mhz playback, click that and turn it off, then restart the system and it worked, somekind of PS3 problem with not playing a movie that doesnt support that

Mr. Spiffy-Pants · 12-13-2007, 01:51 PM

I've played Harry Potter 1-3 on my PS3 60GB without a problem. I have not checked this 24p setting to see what I'm using, but so far so good... I'm waiting for Pirates 3 to come in the mail and I will let you all know if I have a problem.

Blu4ever · 12-13-2007, 04:13 PM

My Pirates does not work either. 24f/s on both auto and off does not fix the prolbem.
