Try running it at off instead and see what happens if you haven't already. When I switched mine to automatic it started working fine, but normally I have mine set to On.

Only thing that would work for me on the PS3 60Gb was to set 24fps to off. Neither Auto nor On would work for the movie itself.

That sort of stinks, considering that it looks so much better on my TV with 24fps.

That is bizzare.

Played fine on PS3 (2.01)

ok here is exactly what is happening.

the menu pops up with the little screen at the top right with the skull in it right. well i click on the bonus feature i want and the screen goes black. then at the top exactly where the talking skull was in that box pops up my bonus feature playing in that size and exact spot on the screen. i have a Sony BDP-S300

Did you try fast forwarding through the previews? Make sure that you don't do chapter skip, as that doesn't work. But fast forwarding works for me.

ClaytonMG: The problem, as I've described in this thread, is intermittent. It plays perfectly sometimes, and not at all others...this is regardless of settings on my rig.

Yes I know, I had the exact same problems with the Pixar discs. Sometimes I could get it to load, other times I couldn't. The only thing that actually worked for me was fast forwarding though the previews. Chapter skip worked once, but fast forwarding works every time now. But since turning 24fps to off and fast forwarding doesn't help you, your best bet is to wait for a firmware upgrade.

you guys turn off that RSS feed? i have mine disabled and framerate to auto, and no problems on latest firmware. (movie looks great!)

[Verbal]

Took me 4 times to load it up again tonight.

[blakeknoll]

reset the ps3 ive had to do it several times for other disney movies cars and ratatouille

[Truckondo]

I had to do the FF trick to get it to play on my 60gb. Latest firmware installed too.

Odd, with my PS3 I had to set the 24hz to off (previously I just had it on auto), otherwise I'd just get a blank screen and I'd be stuck there -- I could eject the disc, but I wouldn't be able to exit the player or anything... just a black screen. No other Disney movie has given me that problem.

On the bright side the Disney castle logo at the start that plays directly before the movie hit 50mbps 3 times according to the bitrate meter on the PS3 (and the audio track only too 224kbps of that)... Some crazy bursts!

as i posted on avs, my movie disc worked fine on 2nd try (24p set to on), but my bonus material disc doesnt work, always get a black screen after the piracy warning...and no i didn't pirate the pirates!

beware the fingerprints : even when cautious, there can be some, and it will cause problems

i dont have the title yet underway,but you should turn off the 24 settings on your PS3 if it is on or AUTO.As i can conclude from this thread above

[Sorbert]

k thx for the info

[grooveska]

I watched it just fine on my 60 GB PS3 w/ 2.01 last night. Looked and sounded great.

Hi there all.

First posting. Yah. Due to this annoying problem. Played around with the settings before going online and this is what I discovered.

First off, I have a 60GB PS3 with the 2.01 FW.

Second, I have my resolution settings on at 720p with 1080i 1080p disabled. Since I play it on a 720p/1080i television. And 720p is much better than 1080i for playback. Especially with movies like this.

So no matter what I did same problem as being described, as soon as the menu is about to load, system freezes. Reboot is only option.

So I enabled 1080i. Suddenly all works aok. Nothing more was changed.

Which leads me to believe that this movie is in fact in 1080i and not 1080p. Because to display 720p you would down convert 1080p to see it. But a 1080i video cannot be converted to 720p since 1080i < 720p.

Give this a try and tell me what you guys get. Thanks.

I haven't viewed mine yet....I have a 60GB PS3 with latest 2.01 firmware.

I'm going to try it tonight.

It's very odd that some can play it no problem and others can't.........I don't keep the RSS feed or internet connection on.....I wonder if this might be part of the problem......can anyone confirm?
