I'd intended to do this earlier, but finally got around yesterday to sending a note to Oppo about these problems.
I had their reply within an hour (and on a Saturday afternoon)...
For Dredd you will want to select the 2D movie, then press Top Menu after the studio logo, then select 3D. This...
Oh, forgot to report! We sampled this using Reed's workaround last night, and for those with the problem, that should work just fine. Do NOT select the "Play" option. Go to the chapter/scene selection and start Chapter 1 from there, thereby avoiding whatever bad gobbledy-gook (a.k.a. shit) in...
