Problems with Dan in real life

[MovieFan242]

I had the same problem on my 80 gig PS3 when ever i tried to fast forward. When i didnt, it worked fine.

Hmm, tested rewinding and fast-forwarding a few minutes ago since I didn't initially try that when watching it. Still works fine on both of my PS3s. It's really strange that some are having issues and some aren't. I thought one of the big advantages of a console was everyone having the same hardware so that things are more consistent and predictable. That is, I thought everyone having essentially the same hardware would eliminate issues like this. Anyway, weird.

No issues here...although I didn't rewind or anything.

Im having the same problem, its very annoying. Glad im not the only one, wondering if its worth trying to exchange the movie then.

I'd just like to add my 60GB PS3 on FW 2.20 goes to a black screen whenever it seems I fast forward and/or rewind. Now I'm going to try to watch the entire movie without FF or Rewind.

I have a 40GB PS3 w/ firmware 2.20 and watch Dan in Real Life last night. I was aware that the problem might occur, and didn't happen to fast forward or rewind or anything until we got to the seen where Marie leaves. We paused it to take a break and when we got back the screen was black.
Had to quit playback and restart it and then jump to the chapter and search to the scene in hopes that it wouldn't go black again.

I happened two more times after that, each time directly related to rewinding it back about 20 seconds worth. Each time I was able to jump out and back in to finish watching the movie.

I wonder what was encoded differently that caused this to happen?

I was wondering if you all have blurriness in watching the movie. I see a lot when the actors move. Is anyone having this problem or is it cause the way i step up my ps3 and hdtv? Its like it outlines the actors.

It plays to about halfway through it and then just stops and I get a black screen. I thought that the disk was bad (but no scratches etc) so I went to best buy and exchanged it with another. Same problem... different area. Am i the only one having problems with this title?

Thanks
ps. on the ps3... I have the latest operating system version.

should have tested it on their equipment

I'll keep you posted and thanks for all the replies

is it only on ps3 that has problems?

I own the 60 G PS3 with current firmware updates and watched "Dan in Real Life" last weekend. I didn't experience any problems with the playback of this disc. Your disc may be defective.

Same here - Netflixed Dan on my 60GB PS3 ver. 2.20 and paused, FF'd, RW'd and had absolutely no issues (and the unit had been on for over a week since it's last power on-off cycle folding away for team blu-ray.com)

after FW 2.20 its still not working for me. I probably wont exchange it cause it works if i fast forward right before the blackout. That and i doubt ill watch it again within the next couple of years anyways.

2022 with an up to date Sony x800m2 player and seems I have a disc with all the same problems. So strange.
