Ghost Rider problems


I watched Ghost Rider last night and boy was it difficult to get fired up. The first couple of times I could not get the disc to even spin. I cleaned it and finally got it to get me into the menu. After that I'd hit play and nothing, the screen was just black. The final time I hit play and while the screen was black I hit stop and then play and the movie started. The movie played fine after that.

Anyone else have any problems with this disc? I have a Sammy BD-P1000. I plan to exchange the disc and try again.

Re: Ghost Rider problems


I had no problems playing this disc on my Pioneer Elite BDP-HD1. I think planning to do an exchange is a smart move if you cannot find evidence of others having similar issues with your player.

Re: Ghost Rider problems


Perhaps it realized how terrible a film it is and just couldn't muster the strength to go on.

I'm so sorry - I had to take a shot. I was so disappointed because it's a great comic book.

And it is a good idea to do an exchange and see if that disc works better.

Cheers,

Jason

That was great and I agree the movie was awful. Although, the PQ and AQ on this BD was just amazing. The TrueHD and PCM tracks rocks.

Re: Ghost Rider problems


I guess I lowered my expectations through the floor because I had fun watching it. For whatever reason, I have a switch that I can throw that'll allow me to enjoy just about any comic book movie. Blessing or curse?

Re: Ghost Rider problems


Same here Paul, I enjoyed it.

I'm going to exchange it tomorrow and how that the new disc will play fine, and hope it's not a player issue.

Re: Ghost Rider problems


Samsing just released FW 1.2 which apparently fixes the Ghost Rider issue you have as well as the Liar's Dice game on POTC2.
