Jittery Video...Please Help!! - Blu-ray Forum

KayaM · 08-27-2008, 12:12 PM

I've been having problems with jittery video while watching blu-ray films. I'd be watching a movie and momentarily the picture gets distorted (notably Fifth Element and Casino Royale). I'm fairly certain it's one of the HDMI cables that's causing the problem. Has anyone had a similar experience with the HDMI cable that came with the BD-P1400?

You might want to try to enable 3:2 pulldown mode if your tv has that mode. Or something similar like "movie" or "cinema" mode. I've had the similar problem and that fixed my problem.

Or see if your tv can manually switch the refresh rate to 24 fps since all the movies outputs to 24 frame rates per second.

I would think it might be the player or disk. Make sure they are clean..

I also have the BD-1400 and I threw away the HDMI cable that came with it. Totally useless. Well, not totally. You could use if on another device, but that included cable simply can not handle the bandwidth required for most Blus, resuting in video dropouts and loss.
