Thanks for pointing this out. Now if I can only remember how to burn it the right way.

Ver 1.6 BD-V Playability

What exactly is BD-V Playability?

Bullseye · 12-09-2008, 09:49 PM

Is this for all players?

canuckle · 12-09-2008, 09:53 PM

Sorry, that's for the BD-55.

I just downloaded 1.6 firmware update for BD-35.
It says BD-V compatibility...
Does any one know what is BD-V compatibility?

Well, are you sure it isn't BVDs?

I just updateed my firmware to version 1.6 and in Panasonic's website it does state "BD-V Playability". This version was just released on 12/08/08.

Finally got around to updating my BD-35 to v1.6 through my ethernet connection. Played Horton tonight and it played without a hitch.

The question is, did it play any different without the firmware?

When using a CD to burn the firmware for some reason I'm having difficulty. It's a .FRM file as opposed to an ISO file. I didn't think that would make a difference in burning it the way I always do. Either that or I just plain forgot what I was doing.

BD-V is normal Blu-ray Video. Probably a fix for some movies that were having issues (current or future)
