Fight Club -anyone got a faulty disc? - Blu-ray Forum

The Driver · 12-22-2009, 01:24 PM

Although I'm blaming the disc -it's obviously the f**king format of Bluray to blame as it's never finalised. They're always f**king about with keys and updates.

I'm using PowerDVD 7.3 with an update but the disc won't load. It was initially crashing PDVD but I updated and then I got a message to visit http://cyberlink.com/prog/aacs/index.jsp -it offered me the update I already had.

I've contacted Fox UK about this.

Sit down to watch a f**king film that cost me £13 f**king pounds and I can't f**king watch it. Are these idiots try to push me to the Dark Side of movie watching? Looks like it.

Am I annoyed? Of course I f**king am!

Anyone had similar problems?

Oh, incidentally, the cardboard slipcover works perfectly. It slips and it covers.

£13.. good price.

I gave it a rent and had no problems.

josuv22 · 12-22-2009, 01:46 PM

bought it recently works with no issues on my player

LordCrumb · 12-22-2009, 05:47 PM

Try it standard Bluray deck I have powerDVD and it tends to lag sometimes. I only use the pc DVDplayer for screen capture shots only.

Not bad price for Fight Club since Die Hard is frigging £23.00 at HMV.

Mr. Brightside · 12-22-2009, 08:00 PM

Yes, I've had 2 Fight Club Blu-rays where they both refuse to load past the main feature. Select any chapter and the damn thing just will not load.

I'm using a Bush player. Disappointing, but seems it just don't like the hardware.

The Driver · 12-23-2009, 03:44 AM

As I said it's probably not the disc -it's the format. The format should be finished, completed and left alone. PowerDVD, Bush, Sony or anyone else will be forever messing about trying to keep up.

Just looked, and I paid £9.99 for the disc when Play.com had it in their deal of the day. Great price but I've not watched it yet. Good thing is though I did watch the Bluray of Goldfinger. Looks great and always makes me laugh

The Driver · 12-24-2009, 03:20 PM

Got it working. Not quite a perfect 'home cinema' experience is it Fox? But since we have the corrupt Bluray Regions we'll just have to lump it or rip their discs and remove all these annoyances on our legally bought discs.

I uninstalled the latest, removed all registry entries (and there was a lot of crap), reinstalled the OEM LG disc then overinstalled the latest PowerDVD (free updates as I'm using OEM). All working great until the next problem no doubt.

I kind of feel sorry for small companies like Cyberlink as I assume when they made these deals they never thought 2 or 3 years down the line they had to continue with updates to a program that will never work. Maybe a lot of people pay them for updates.

I like PDVD7 as it works well (most of the time) and it works perfectly always with HDDVD. Just a shame I'm treated so badly with all these f***ing updates.

I do my best to support the film industry and when I sit down to watch a film I expect to errr... sit down and watch a film. Not f**k about for hours with my PC.

Bunch of overpaid arse-holes (had to add the hypen as that's considered a swear word).

JBL4645 · 12-24-2009, 03:31 PM

I agree they are all a bunch of Muppets and my patience is now warring thin with botched up titles. All they do is take the master video that they used for the DVD and get some geek to make menu of sort for the Bluray to delude us.

Fight Club no I don’t want it. I have the DVD region2 and it works fine and it plays LOUD ENOUGH!

blu_sharpy · 12-24-2009, 03:38 PM

It has been remastered with direction from David Fincher, so they certainly havent taken the DVD Master. Anyway I think Blu-ray laptops are a bad idea. I own one and it fails to play many BD's even with updates. Blu-ray is a new product and computer software companies are unequipped to deal with it. If you can, stick to an actual player; you'll have a lot less hassle.

JBL4645 · 12-24-2009, 03:46 PM

No sorry I don’t believe in word of that.

There is nothing on this planet that will get me to buy Fight Club on bluray!

What dont you understand?
The film has been Digitally Remastered for Blu-ray under supervision of David Fincher. It has an all new 5.1 DTS-HD MA track and new special features. Why wouldnt you buy it. The reviews show how great a job Fox have done so whats the problem?

The Driver · 12-24-2009, 11:35 PM

The Bluray for Fight Club blows the DVD out of the water. It's beautiful.

Bluray is not a "format" as that implies it's finalised like DVD. DVD works perfectly but Bluray never will.

Bluray is crap but the transfers (most of the time) are wonderful compared to DVD. Bluray is just an old-fashioned idea like VHS is now accept VHS worked and still does.

I buy Bluray discs because there is no other pressed disc format. Sony and their idiot friends needn't bother thinking I buy it for any other reason.

Matt74uk · 12-25-2009, 08:36 AM

and of course in the early days of DVD there were NEVER any problems with certain discs causing certain players to crash on the menus...

Toy Story!!! Toy Story!!! Toy Story!!!

Problems with DVDs were very VERY rare and that's not my point (which you completely missed -it's there if you look so I won't repeat myself).

The only ever problem we had with DVDs was the bastard European invented blacksheep disc which was stapled on by Sony and Philips which genuinely was faulty from day 1 and that was called DVD+ It was never a recognised or official format until very recently as Sony did some sort of deal with Toshiba. There's 100,000s of people with DVD+RW discs around the planet which are faulty and they don't even know it. DVD+ recorders were a joke from day 1 and -like Bluray- they (Philips/Sony) had to constantly 'update' the technology ie it was broke and never a format.

DVD® on the other hand is still a great format. Bluray never will be and HD-DVD® would have been but only on the back of DVD®

Hardly anyone I know has any idea what a "blue raye" is but they know fine well what a DVD is and does.

I need a LAN connection to fix my player 2-3 times a year and to watch product I've already paid for? F**k me, that's a real winner for the mass consumer market.
