WTF? Help! - Blu-ray Forum

jmlalit5 · 02-12-2008, 06:16 PM

I just recieved my first blu-ray rental from Netflix: Casino Royale. I've been watching all of the Bond movies in order, all the while greatly anticipating this one. I was watching the movie and at the 13 minute mark, it froze. Then, it skips five minutes of the entire scene!

I am running it through my 80GB PS3, there aren't any scratches on the disc either. I've tried cleaning it, but that did absolutely nothing! I really want to see this movie!

Please, help!

It's not just the one part, it does it throughout the whole disc.

I was kind of hoping to find a way around having to send it back.
I was hoping someone else has had similar problems and knew of some sort of trick to get it working.

Sorry buddy.... looks like your SOL

Do you have the lastest firmware??

Canada · 02-12-2008, 06:56 PM

Casino Royale should not require the latest firmware update.

kingofgrills · 02-12-2008, 07:01 PM

Just double check that there are absolutely no smudges or scratches on the disc. Also make sure the disc didn't get warped in the mail.

Other than that, I don't know what to tell you. I've never heard of anyone having difficulty with Casino Royale, so the problem is with the actual disc you have.

That's the risk with Netflix, especially given how dense the data is packed on a Blu-ray disc. It's easier for an abused Blu-ray disc to crap out than a regular DVD. Better luck next time.

Yeah, I definitely have the latest firmware. I've tried all sorts of things to get around the problem. I pressed the display button to see just what it was doing. It would play to around 13 minutes and 30 seconds and then freeze, while the timer skipped to 15, 16, and 17 minutes, all without the screen changing. Then it would come back at 18 minutes through. One second Bond is chasing a black guy up a crane, and the next he's on the ground, surrounded by guys with guns and holding a gun to someone's head!

its not your player. I used to have that problem when I used netflix which is the main reason I cancelled my subscription with them. Your just gonna have to send it back and tell them it skips

Minimejer05 · 02-12-2008, 07:40 PM

Call up Netflix man.

Crap, now I have to wait even longer to see it! I've been trying for hours now to do everything I can, I just don't think anything will work.

Hopefully the replacement copy will work.

milou6 · 02-12-2008, 08:13 PM

If you tell Netflix you need a replacement they will mail out a new one immediately (you won't have to wait for them to get the old one back).
Royale played fine in my PS3 when I got it (from Netflix) -- that was back when it first came to video, so I am not sure which firmware was current then -- although that does not seem to be your problem.

BLU for Blue · 02-12-2008, 08:18 PM

just buy it

Well if you have about 25-30 dollars on you right now...go to the store and buy it. It's a great movie.

I'll probably end up buying it eventually. I haven't heard a single complaint about it...in fact, is there anyone here who didn't like it?

Kairav · 02-12-2008, 09:21 PM

I have had skips on my BDs from netflix. Horrible but I could do nothing.

The Don · 02-12-2008, 09:23 PM

wipe it down with some alcohol and let it sit for 5 minutes..

fingerprints have done that to me before...but when you clean them off, it works fine..

Somebody woke up on the cranky side of the twin-size this morning.

In any case, just get another copy, OP - probably a little defect, rentals run amuck with them; this isn't the first post I've seen like this. Simply ask them to send you another, or like many others have suggested - buy it! It's a great title.
