Speed - Defective? (1 Viewer)

[Larry Schneider]

Okay. I downloaded the firmware yet again and installed it. Then I set the "parental control" function - it defaults for level 1 - to 8 and Speed is playing for me now.

Yay! Glad people are getting it to work since it sounds like it's a great disc to behold!

 

[John Milton]

Same here. Both Speed and Behind Enemy Lines won't load and auto eject after a few moments.

(Update)

Got Behind Enemy Lines to work still zero luck with Speed. Called Samsung and they suggested I don't buy any more Fox titles until they change codecs. WTF?

 

[Larry Schneider]

I got Speed to play until about 1:10...when it broke up, badly.

 

[Neil Joseph]

What kind of response is that from Samsung. Speed and all fox disks have worked on my player, a panny as is the general case that I can see. Some noise needs to be made.

 

[Grant H]

Problem with the layer change perhaps?

 

[Larry Schneider]

I think it's a single layer disc.

SPEED loads slowly but plays on Sony BDP-S! player.Would not load on my Samsung.

 

[Robert Crawford]

Roger,
So now you bought a Sony BR player too?

 

[Roger Mathus]

Yes, they went on sale at Best Buy stores on Tuesday. I decided to go
for the Sony.

Just finished watching the entire Speed BD on my Samsung player and it also played flawlessly. Wanted people to know that the BD disc does not affect all Samsung units.

Which is it - the particular disc that is the problem or the particular Samsung player?

Excellent high def transfer on this disc!

Same here, my disc plays flawlessly on my Samsung player too.

Apparently it is indeed a disc compatibility issue with some Samsungs. Fox is issuing corrected replacement discs by calling 1-888-223-2369. Here is the story from hidefdigest: http://www.highdefdigest.com/news/sh...ment_Discs/372

Well, damnit, I just sent my second disc back to Amazon. Now do I order yet another one from them so I can forward it to Fox for a replacement?

Just bought the last Sony Blu-Ray player at my local Best Buy, and purchased "Speed". Had no problems playing this disc, but it did take longer to load, and I saw that funny circular thing moving before the disc started. The PQ is awesome!

 

[Stephen PI]

Does anybody have their replacement disc yet? I received mine today and it still won't play. The same old rolling dots on the bottom of the screen. I have the Pioneer Elite BDP-HD1 with the latest 2.10 firmware upgrade.

 

[Stephen PI]

I tried playing the disc this morning. After a short period of the circular dots the disc suddenly started, and played fine after that. After a short period I stopped the disc and then pressed play. The circular dots appeared again and played approximately for one minute and then went to the main menu. So I guess I will keep the disc until maybe another firmware upgrade improves on the compatibility problems.
