Discs the LG BH200 has problems with - Page 2  

I'm sad to report that the new firmware does not fix my issue with La Vie En Rose (La Môme).

My 300 HD DVD does not play with Firmware - BH0208314B (2008-03-17).

I only see a green picture, sound is ok. Menu button does not work.

Works fine with my Toshiba HD-XE1 though.

Yes others work fine. I tried the HD DVDs Superman the Movie, The ghost of Mae Nak, Land of the Dead and Evan Almighty. No problems with those.

Is it possible the European version of 300 is different from the North American? My 300 Combo HD DVD works perfectly fine with the newest firmware (driver version 0701).

I also have the new driver 0701 and my 300 non Combo disc came directly from Toshiba Switzerland, it's one of those free discs from the promotion with a not for resale sticker on the front and no barcode on the back of the cover. The LG BH-200 does not play back the movie.

And I don't have the German DTS-HD Audio Master 7.1 sound with the passthrough sound option on my "Der Geist von Mae Nak" HD DVD (The Ghost of Mae Nak). When I play back this disc with this option, I can't hear any sound at all.

I tried one yesterday (I think Pans Labyrinth on Blu) with bitstream-output to my Denon 4308. And the Denon displays DTS HD MSTR (or something like this - can't remember exactly). I also had 6.1 channels coming into the Denon.

So, the LG works fine. Perhaps there is something wrong with the disc. After testing different audio-tracks I can confirm that the LG supports bitstream-output for every audio-track available (DD+, DolbyTrueHD, DTS HiRes & DTS Masteraudio) including the correct number of channels given out of the LG. But I didn't check the other settings other than primary pass-thru.

Greetings

I think you mean the genius at LG ??
If you mean me....unfortunately I am not a Playboy model with big boobs You have to search anywhere else Sorry !

Uh yes disregard. I posted that before reading the long thread of player problems where the dropout issue is discussed.

Carry on...

Warner, it's actually the German one. I gave it another try, this time with the Ethernet cable plugged in. Well the movie now plays, yet I unfortunately saw the return of the green line issue. But slightly different than with DVDs. Now I have a green bar running from the top to the bottom at the right side of the picture, not moving, not flickering but steady. One with disabled 1:1 pixel mapping would not see it.

Here is a picture:



Just restarted everything and tried the 300 HD DVD again, the green bar is now a green line. Not this thick as in the above picture but still visible.

Tried it a 3rd time. New I have constant picture and sound dropouts. The Ethernet cable has nothing to do with this. Green Picture, sound gone, black picture, sound, and so on.

Weird indeed. I give up, the 300 German HD DVD does not play on my BH-200.

I just received my first Blu-Rays from amazon today. I popped in Casino Royale and The Fifth Element (remastered), and both discs have leaflets referencing a calibration Easter Egg if you press "7669" at the menu. This does not work on the LG (I get a big fat stop icon in the corner) as it seems to think I'm trying to access the 7669th chapter/title.

The latest firmware did indeed make my dropout on the NIN disc disappear.

Hi I am new to this forum and I could use your expertice.I installed the latest firmware via usb device with a MAc. I was able to do the update... Here's the deal.

The Display is now 1080/24P-although I did not see the "other" option as film mode??

I dont have audio or video drop outs

BUT-I cannot bitstream DD+ DD true HD and DTS HD.

Did the MAC have anything to do with it??

What gives? I played with the audio settings already but to no avail. Please Help.

French Stalingrad HD DVD does not play (as well as many gen 1 & 3 toshibas) in my BH200 with the new 3-17-2008 fw.

I just received my BH200 yesterday so I can't comment on previous firmware as the first thing I did was install the march firmware.

It will not read the disc what so ever. Previously, on my A30 it would say after several minutes "Not a DVD disc". When inserted in BH200 it will keeping flashing the HD/BD lights trying to distinguish which format it is and then will spit it out after approximately 120 seconds.

Came across another one.

Afro Samurai (Japanese Import) - "00:00:00" is displayed in the upper right quadrant throughout the movie and the red menu bar background stays up after the menu text disappears.




I'm know watching the movie on my A30 without any of the above glitches.

That's a HDDVD, I keep forgetting I have a BD player now

This time it's a BD:

Across the Universe - When title/pop-up is selected, the screen flashes quickly between the letterboxed film and the menu.

Across the Universe Glitch

They kind of work OK. The language options for subtitles are glitchy on Casino Royale. The default subtitle language is Thai, and I cannot select any other language unless I use the player options. Once I move it back to English subtitles using the player's subtitle button, I can select the subtitles properly in the menu, although the asian languages are hidden. My guess is that the disc is supposed to hide/show subtitle options depending on the Region of the player, and something's wrong there.

I found another glitch with the Gone Baby Gone BluRay. When you bring the menu up while the movie is playing, the whole movie gets scaled down to less than a 1/4 of the size in the corner as the menu takes up the whole screen. While this is normal, the scaled down movie flashes on and off like crazy, which is not normal.
