Lock-ups with Universal BDs - Blu-ray Forum

I've had issues with uni titles as well. I think it comes down to the firmware on your bdp. I recently installed a new fw and haven't had any issues with my uni titles since.

I haven't had any problems with any Universal blurays and I have nearly all of them. I do believe it is a firmware problem. I play mine on my ps3 with no issues.

I would have to agree, it seems like all you need is a firmware update and then you should be good to go.

How do I download newer firmware for these titles then? When I go to system update it says that I have the latest firmware installed, and when I put the discs in I don't get prompted to update. Is there something I'm missing here?

Here's another fourm one this movie, maybe this will help you better.

I haven't heard of any issues with Forgetting Sarah Marshall, I just watched it not too long ago as well. I just now watched Burn After Reading which is a Universal title, with no problems, as well as Wanted, The Incredible Hulk and Mamma Mia!

Don't know what the issue could be...hope you get it resolved soon though!

I just tried playing it again from where I left off and got another 30 minutes through and then it locked up again. I'm wondering if there could be a problem with the laser on my player, do the Blu lasers get problems like standard ones do?

Like I said I can almost guarantee it's not your laser or the anything to do with your bdp. It's just a firmware issue. I had to deal with the freezeup/lockups for months before Samsuck issued a proper firmware update. You might just have to deal with it as well if your most current FW update doesn't resolve this issue. I noticed most of my freezeups were occurring with director's and unrated cuts of the film where the additional scenes were added to the movie. Like I said my most recent firmware update seems to have resolved these issues.

I had the same problems with FSM and PS3, got a new disc and all was good.
