THX 1138 (1971) (The George Lucas Director's Cut) - Page 13 - Blu-ray Forum

Weirded Wonder · 10-08-2010, 04:22 PM

I wish he would release the original on blu... I know, I know... cheese with that wine.

But I've watched the original on laserdisc 3 times since watching the DC blu.

Does someone know if there is a difference between the UK and US release of this film?

retask · 12-13-2010, 09:10 PM

Recently bought THX1138. When I try to play it in my Panasonic BD60 the FBI-warning comes, then the Warner logo, then the loading-icon. Then the disk just stops. My player says STOP. Ive tried a hundred times. This is the first time this has happend to my player.

Yes, I have the latest firmware. Anyone have any similar problem?

Jhouston · 12-13-2010, 09:13 PM

I have the same player and mine plays perfectly. In fact I never needed to do the firmware update or USB stick trick that many had to for this disc. The only disc that never worked for me until I did a firmware update was Dune.

Try turning off BD-Live. Most times this useless feature messes up playback. Also make sure the disc is clean.

I had to use an SD card to get this one to play.

What does the SD Card do?

BD-live is never on.

For BD players with no internal memory, like my Panasonic, the SD card adds some memory so the player can handle loading interactive menus with lots of JAVA features.

Duffy12 · 01-04-2011, 11:43 PM

I just noticed that the price has just dropped to $13.99 and I would love to finally buy this one.

However I own a Panasonic DMP-BD80 and I am not sure if it will play on it without having to purchase a SD card or whatever.

So so does anybody know if there is a list of players that will have this problem with this particular BD, or know if my player is one of them?

I would also like to know the differences between the US version and the UK version.

Does the UK version have the same movie specifications, subtitles, and extra features?

I have checked www.dvdcompare.net, but they have only listed the US version, and I don't know of any other BD comparison websites.

Help would be very much appreciated!

I'm having the same problem

BD-live is always off

bboisvert · 03-03-2011, 02:49 AM

Take a blank USB drive and plug it in the machine. The disc will then play fine.

Strevlac · 03-04-2011, 08:35 PM

It is such complete horseshit that studios keep putting this crap on the discs. Discs taking 5 minutes to load for no other reason than the fancy interactive menu and more often than not just cause problems with playback

Total crap and I wish more people would complain to the studios about it.

While I'm just going for a shot in the dark here, but if Warner released THX1138 in the UK as well, then the discs will be 100% identical.

Is this out of print It is still in my amazon cart but amazon does not have any of them, only resellers.

My Sony S470 can't play this disc even with my 5GB USB stick plugged in.

Any suggestions?

Mine would not play with a 4GB USB, so I tried a 4GB memory card from my digital camera and that did the trick and it worked.

So if you have one of those try that instead.

Crazy, out of the 160 plus BDs that I have, ONLY THIS one has this problem.
