Underdog NOT Playing - Help! in 2007 - Blu-ray Forum

OneBigJedi · 12-20-2007, 12:37 AM

I have a Pioneer Elite 95 the disc plays up the menu then just repeats. The menus do not work or move. Is anyone one else having this problem?

DetroitSportsFan · 12-20-2007, 02:18 AM

Do you have the latest firmware?

If so, it could be a bad disk.

Xen · 12-20-2007, 03:35 AM

Or, seeing as how it's a new disc, is one that is going to prompt a new firmware update across the board.

nimrod68 · 12-20-2007, 03:50 AM

I have the BDP-S300 and have had the same problem. I traded the disc out today since there has been no major news about it, but same thing. I even reloaded the firmware, no luck. I have tried for about three hours total to try to find a backdoor to the movie, even using the scene selection. No luck. I cut the machine, tv, and receiver off and then found this thread. About half way through registering for this site, I looked over and saw the light on the player on. The timer was running, so I cut on the tv. The menu was back on where it had locked up before. For the hell of it I clicked up to Play Movie (for the 100th time) expecting nothing, but IT FINALLY WORKED!! Now I have to decide if I will stay up til 1AM watching the movie or turn it all off and hope for the best tomorrow. I think I will watch, because I may never get it to work again before the next firmware update.

OneBigJedi · 12-20-2007, 12:24 PM

Yes, I do have lasted firmware. It appears to be a BD-Java issue. And, yes I agree that a new firmware release for the each player will need to be release. If Disney had put an auto play in the disc after 3min or so, it would be non-issue.

gordon cunningham · 12-20-2007, 12:29 PM

any word on if it will play on a european ps3.

Grisle · 12-20-2007, 12:31 PM

This is a good thing...maybe your player is trying to tell you something. J/K...sorry for being an ass, but I have to take what I'm given.

gordon cunningham · 12-20-2007, 12:31 PM

scratch that last post, i foundm out it doesnt

badboi · 12-20-2007, 01:07 PM

My copy of Underdog came yesterday and I put it in my Samsung 1000 expecting it not to play. It took a while to load, got the colored balls loading, then a big red "U" on the screen that started rotating. Took about 3 minutes to finish rotating and then took me to the menu of the movie. It does play on the 1000, but takes forever to load.

I know my experience is no help to any of you having problems, but I thought I'd let you know it does take quite a while to load.

bhampton · 12-20-2007, 01:41 PM

That Elite player looks nice.

But,.. Ps3 it's not.

Anyway,.. I'm thinking they will fix this for ya via FW soon.

I'm sorry but this a complete joke. To think every time a new release comes out I have to flash the firmware is unacceptable. They need to do something else or the consumers like my parents will never buy into the format. I am getting sick and tired of having to do this. Maybe I am a minority here but this has to stop.

ikbradley · 12-20-2007, 02:40 PM

Underdog will prove the undoing of 1.1's new found success. I bet on HD DVD it totally would have run smoothely.

The 'Big Hurt' is now being felt by Blu-ray!

Why would it

it runs smoothly on the sharp bluray player, and loads in under 40 seconds

Unacceptable. When I have a hankering to watch Underdog, I expect Blu-ray to load the disc in 15 seconds. Quality titles deserve the best from firmware updates.

I have had zero problems with any releases on my PS3.

Having said that, I feel for those with stnadalone players who have and I completely agree that this needs to be fixed and soon. "Normal" consumers will not tolerate non-play or super slow load times.

Whenever anyone asks me for a recommendation on a player, I tell them for now, buy a PS3.

Why don't you buy a PS3? AHHHH......sarcasm!!!!!

mystiksuicide · 12-20-2007, 03:30 PM

Just tried it out on my Panasonic 10 and after what seem endless previews the movie started to play with out any problems. The download time from the red U to the menu was like 20 seconds.
