#43296 - 10/14/12 01:09 PM Problem playing Bluray
BWBODDY UPSF Vice Admiral Registered: 07/07/11 Posts: 4748 Loc: Louisville,Ky.	I tried to watch the bluray of Prometheus and I got nothing but a blank screen. Even tried it on my Son’s player. There were no available "updates" for mine nor my Son’s Player’s my player is an RCA BRC11082. I don’t recall what my Son’s is ( incase you are wondering ) I had one hell of a Time getting WalMart to refund my Money. ( they were out of Stock, so I couldn't do an exchange ) But I did get me money back. ( The Cute little Asst Manager that I’ve chatted with quite a bit over the years, gave the Okay ) I’m not sure if it was a Bad Disc or is one of those Bluray you need a top of the line Player to watch it. Did anyone else have any issues with the Prometheus bluray ??? Edited by BWBODDY (10/14/12 04:38 PM) _________________________ See it, Smell it, Touch it, Taste it.

I’m thinking that since it didn’t play on my Son’s player ether, it might actually be the bluray disc ( I hope ) The DVD is just the Movie, the bluray is packing all of the extra’s. I Posted about it just to see if someone else did have a problem with it as well _________________________ See it, Smell it, Touch it, Taste it.

It appears that this BD requires a lot of memory to play. Just insert a USB drive into the player and it should give the player enough memory to play it. _________________________ Avatar: Hime from Princess Resurrection (Kaibutsu Oujo) Shopping at Right Stuf since 2003.

Like they do with Computer Programs. It wasn’t as easy as I posted, ( getting the refund ) I was told no for a refund, repeatedly. I only got it because the Lady that Ok’d it, out ranked the guy in Electronics. When he said they were out of stock, he told me to take it to a different Walmart to exchange it. When I went back up front, I told her that they were out of stock, she then said alright, to the refund. On the USB drive, any idea’s on memory size, etc… ??? USB Drive = Flash Drive ??

Like they do with Computer Programs. There is but it appears that 20th Century Fox goofed on the encoding. I just found a work around for it. FWIW, Sony has very strict rules on Blu-ray production, but sometimes things can slip by. My best bet is that all of Fox's test units have a least 2GBs of memory, while most BD players out in the market only have 1GB.

It has a lot of names, so take your pick. I personally use 4GB USB drives on our 2 BD players. You can probably get away with a 1GB drive. I recommend always having a USB drive in the player. This helps speed up the load times on some Blu-ray Discs (BD). Without the drive, some non-anime BDs of mine takes a few minutes to load, but only 30 seconds with the USB drive. _________________________ Avatar: Hime from Princess Resurrection (Kaibutsu Oujo) Shopping at Right Stuf since 2003.

I’ll get one and see how it works…. Thanks Yup, all of the live Action blurays I have take time to load. A couple of them mess up while playing, like The Raven when it messes up it kept skipping back to the start of the last chapter. It did that about 8 times while watching it, it took more then an extra ½ hour to watch because of that. Sucker Punch would just free up, I’d have to reload it ( Sucker Punch took forever to load ) then I’d skip ahead to where it messed up and go from there till it messed up again. _________________________ See it, Smell it, Touch it, Taste it.
