300 Blu-ray frame rate question - Blu-ray Forum

SuperK · 08-03-2007, 12:21 AM

Hi all, a n00b here, just had a question on the new 300 blu-ray disc playback. I am watching it on my PS3, hooked up with a HDMI cable to my 37" LG LCD screen tv and I am wondering what is wrong with my setup to make the movie "choppy". I know of the grainy look to this movie and I am not questioning that but when I play it it looks like it might not be playing at the right frame rate. I have tried it on 720p and 1080i, both have the same problem. I have tries to force the 24fps mode through the ps3 settings and it still looks horrible. I have no problems playing XMen 3 or Crank and am wonering if I am overlooking someting or just have a bad disc?

Love the Blu!

Do you have it connected to the internet? If so, have you updated the firmware in the last week and a half?

SuperK · 08-03-2007, 12:40 AM

Newest update - 1.90 was installed

Can you give a little more description about what flaws you notice in the image? It might help to know exactly what imperfections we're talking about here.

I agree, Blu-ray kicks ass, and I'm quite a satisfied customer. My copy of "300" works like a dream. Wish I could help.

I just watched it on my PS3 and there weren't any problems. I do know the HD-DVD has problems, but that's only due to errors in manufacturing (that seems to be happening a lot with their HD-DVD/DVD combos).

SuperK · 08-03-2007, 01:37 AM

Maybe it is a bad disc, it looks like it is missing some of the frames in the playback, sound is great but the video is not smooth. I think I will exchange the disc. Probably made on a friday 8 mins to quiting time!

jubaiweaponx · 08-03-2007, 02:32 AM

can`t hurt,no issues with the hdmi cable on any other movies ,prob the disc then

Blu-dock Saint · 08-03-2007, 02:43 AM

I've only had this problem once, back in was back in the days of dvd, my face off dvd skipped around ,never will forget about that, back in those days when dvd was the coolest thing ever and it doesnt work on me? all well havent had any problems with dvd's or blu rays since, I'd return it and get another copy if I were you.

burdenbrother · 08-03-2007, 03:31 AM

I noticed this too. It is like little flashes of light. I almost want to think it is something to do with my sony bravia lcd. There are some minor clouding issues however, I don't think this is the reasoning for the choppy picture since I have never seen this before. Does anyone else have a sony KDL V2500 that has noticed this?

dgator783 · 08-03-2007, 03:34 AM

i noticed it for a few scenes as well but only a very few...

Maaz · 08-03-2007, 03:45 AM

haven't seen any problems yet.

Blu-dock Saint · 08-03-2007, 04:05 AM

Just got done watching it on my PS3, didnt notice any hitches in the movie.....I still love this movie.

jimfear · 08-03-2007, 10:41 AM

I have a Sony Bravia TV and m,y 300 looked awful. Should I do an excahnge?

Deciazulado · 08-03-2007, 01:20 PM

maybe some scenes might been photographed in a high shutter speed giving it a strobe-like effect? Gladiator has a few of those, for example.

CptGreedle · 08-03-2007, 01:27 PM

Can you describe which scenes have that strobe effect? It could be part of the film, it could be a bad disc, it could b something wrong with the system.
I have a Sony Bravia, and I love they way everything looks on it, I just haven't had the chance to watch 300 on it yet.

jimfear · 08-03-2007, 04:17 PM

My system hasn't done anything like this before. I think it may be the disc... I will say, 300 has one of the worst transfer grainy as hell, Warner Bros should be a ashamed of themselves.... really.. I guess I expected more..
