Need Help!!! - Blu-ray Forum

ih2122 · 03-24-2008, 02:49 AM

Hello all, Im new to the site and first may I say what a great site for The Blu-Ray players.

Heres my Dilema, I just bought the movie I Am Legend and my Samsung BD-P1000 will not play it! It keeps giving me the message "No Disc". I think this is because I have not updated my firmware I guess.

One other thing is I have NO idea on how to do this, or which one will to Dwnload or what! Im kinda in need of major help. I bought the player from Best Buy in Sept of 07, and had some problems with movies that have recently came out!

So if anyone one out there could find it in there heart to help a noob out, that would be awesome, If someone can help me out we may have to talk on the phone or something as I am not that computer literate. I would call of course ! Again and Thanx.

Confused

ih2122 · 03-24-2008, 02:55 AM

iF so you are a life saver dude!!!

What kind a disc do i need to burn it onto since I will be going and buying them!!

Brian Cash · 03-24-2008, 02:58 AM

it should the comments for that firmware said that it helped playback issues if not then i would call samsung since it would be still under man warranty

Brian Cash · 03-24-2008, 02:58 AM

oh and just a reg blank disc like u would use for a audio cd nothing special

BStecke · 03-24-2008, 02:58 AM

Not updating firmware is probably the #1 reason for movies not working . . . usually they're necessary updates (especially for the Samsung players

).

ih2122 · 03-24-2008, 03:02 AM

OK one more thing, and please dont think Im a idiot. Ive never burned anyhing on this computer.

I usually go to my moms and have my younger brother do it on her comp, to keep mine fresh and everything lol. I know I have one it came with it! Is it hard to do and does anyone know how!

ih2122 · 03-24-2008, 03:03 AM

No I do not Brian.

Brian Cash · 03-24-2008, 03:07 AM

well what programs do you have to burn discs its kinda hard to explain how you do it cause theres a 1000 programs out there and all are deff but normally all you do is open up the program click make a data cd then find the firmware update drag it to the area to burn on disc and then click burn thats pretty much the basics

ih2122 · 03-24-2008, 03:10 AM

If i had a flash drive or memory stick would it be easier?

Can I put it on there then plug it into the Blu- Ray player?

Cuz I can go buy one those things are fairly cheap.

dperrone · 03-24-2008, 03:12 AM

you should be able to download NERO for like a free month trial. I usually burn all my FW discs with NERO as I know many others do. It is pretty easy.

Brian Cash · 03-24-2008, 03:14 AM

its alot easier to explain how to do it but im not 100% sure if your able to do a firmware update through a flash drive since i have a ps3 and its all through the internet so someone else would have to help us out on that one

BirdManJr · 03-24-2008, 03:36 AM

Get a ps3...Youll never have to worry about that problem again

JimboTHX1138 · 03-24-2008, 03:56 AM

You just need a CD-R to burn it to.

Download your latest firmware from here.
http://www.samsung.com/us/support/do...sp_nm=BD-P1000

You must burn the firmware as an ISO image. Here is a free program you can download that will automatically burn it as an ISO for you.
