UPDATE:
I just got off the phone with Disney and i got mine to work and it sounds like it a simple fix to the problem, you have to go to your settings screen of your PS3, then go to BD/DVD settings, go to near the bottom where it says BD 1080p 24Mhz playback, click that and turn it off, then restart the system and it worked, somekind of PS3 problem with not playing a movie that doesnt support that

I read somewhere else, disney said to change your default from 24 fps to automatic and it fixes this issue.

what player are u using???

Go Blu · 12-05-2007, 02:40 PM

I thought that little picture window was supposed to remain up there.

The only issue I see is is between speial features playing it flashes back to the whole screen skull for a mili second.

I have an S300 and it plays fine. Actually seems to load faster than the previous movies.

yes it def loaded faster for me than the previous movies.
only 5 1/2 load cycles for the special features disc.

Compare that to Day after Tomorrow (pre-firmware update)
17 1/2 load cycles.

The special features are playing in the tiny upper right Total Menus window?

That is bizzare.

Played fine on PS3 (2.01)

Sharkby12 · 12-05-2007, 03:55 PM

I am having the same issue... I just exchanged mine for another one and it is doing the same thing....

Pellaeon · 12-05-2007, 04:02 PM

Guess I got lucky, I have the latest firmware, popped in the movie and enjoyed yet another superb Blu movie from Disney.

I wil lhave to check my settings, I guess I had this on auto the whole time???

Messing with the 1080@24 settings didn't help for my copy.

What did work is hitting the ff button before the menu button. That works 100%.

The previews start,.. I hit FF,.. I hit menu.. and I"m in.

I hate seeing some buggy-ness with my PS3 though. This is more the sort of behavior I would expect from HD DUD.

Did you restart the PS3 between changing settings? I assume those settings will be related to some kind of hardware detection/interrogation ..sometimes power off/on may be required under those circumstances. There may be a bug in that *particular* situation of changing settings in the same session..that a power cycle corrects.

Just an observation based on general patterns with other systems.

The Laughing Man · 12-05-2007, 04:31 PM

I had the same problem w/ Ratatouille. I restarted my PS3 and it worked fine.

all_blu_man · 12-05-2007, 04:34 PM

thats weird. I believe I have the latest firmware for my ps3 and I tried the movie last night and it worked perfectly fine.

Same here. Only had to retry once, not a problem after that.

Sonny · 12-05-2007, 04:41 PM

Ditto.

I had a real problem trying to get mine to play on bdp s1. It took 7 attempts before I was able to watch. It didn't start till I tried the menus button. Had trouble playing Die Hard as well. Guessing I need a firmware update. I don't have a dvd burner on computer. I have 1.6 only.
