Official OPPO BDP-93 Owner's Thread - Page 646

Same problem here. Takes forever to load. What makes it worse is the HBO menu system. You never know what episodes are on what disc. Which is why I'm going to rip all the episodes to ISO so I don't have to waste my time with HBO's BD discs.

I updated to v.1219 and still play ISO's, I have not experienced any issues with playback of standard or blu ray discs although I have not tried the troublesom Hugo blu ray.

Because for quite awhile there were issues creating iso's straight from anydvd. I circumvented them by using imgburn and as I have NEVER had an issue with imgburn I decided to stick with it.

this is not "news". Most people here know that is the last best firmware before the removal of iso in the following beta and then "official" firmware release..

It's also in the FAQ:


-Bill

we have a FAQ??!!! Is that new?

kidding....we all appreciate your hard work in maintaining that!

Never had Problems with creating isos with any dvd

So....can you make the Test again only with anydvd and the New Feature Speed menue?

I was a veryyyyyyyyy early adopter of anydvd. If you search back far enough, you could probably find the issues I mentioned. I am pretty sure they fixed them a few years ago but I see no reason to switch as my process has worked flawlessly for many a year! Will redo Hugo later with speed menu and see if that does anything. did a movie only rip with dvdfab and that played fine...

Thank you

So now we're just determining who is closest to the bottom of the barrel?

I'm glad to not be paying Netflix anymore.

Yes, my BDP-93 locked-up completely two or three times.


Same here.


I see a black screen and '00:00' on the front-panel display. If I press play, I
see the green 'Play' icon on the screen, but only once. Now the player is
completely unresponsive.


Same here. I suspect BD-Java.


I had the problem once before, with "Margin Call" from Netflix. "Thrones"
is the retail release.


I believe I'm configured the same way. (I intended to be.)

A test was already done...do a search on 'HUGO Workaround'

So anydvd with speed menu is the key for keeping iso software :-)

Thanks! Don't know how I missed that!

I for one used ISOs for convienence (don't do 3D yet) - for movie nights I use my HTPC as a Blu-ray media center catalog viewer so we can read the descriptions of the movies we want to see. Once my wife picks a movie , I then slect that movie via the OPPO/HDDs connected to it - all without getting up off my couch to pop in a disc... now that ISOs are gone I'm using folders (AVCHD/BDMV - still publicly supported) more and more so my focus is now wondering whether OPPO can improve the USB/eSATA interface with HDDs. I have had very good success with using 7200rpm HDDs and defragging the hell out of them before I put my folders on them but it's not perfect...

I'm looking at getting the BR Srike Back from Amazon,UK

The site says it's Region Free but it also says "Please note that this product will not play on US spec 60i Blu-ray players as the Blu-ray discs are authored to UK 50i specs"

So is the BDP -93 player capable of playing a BR with 50i specs ?

Yes, all OPPO players will accept 50i sources and optionally convert them to 60hz.

Hi

I bought my Oppo BDP-93 this last Monday and I have been struggling with resolution issue since then. I hook up my Oppo to a Sharp Aquos LC-42D62U which is capable of showing 1080p. Before the Oppo my Toshiba HD-A30 has been serving me well with 1080p materials. My Sharp LCD for some reasons always indicate incompatible format whenever I try playing bluray through my Oppo at 1080p. The best resolution it can play is if I select 1080i.
I use my Audioquest Carbon HDMI cable or monster HDMI to connect both Oppo and Toshiba to my Sharp LCD.
Any suggestion / help would be much appreciated!

Harry

do you have 1080p 24 set on the oppo? try turning that off. Also, rule out cables and inputs by switching everything around. some cables can be finicky with some players, and some inputs on monitors can be finicky as well.
try and report back

I purchased my Oppo 93 last month and have enjoyed it. I've been waiting for The Beach to come out on Blu-Ray and noticed it was announced for the U.K. for April with no release date in the U.S., so ordered a copy. I then ordered one of those region-free mod. kits and installed it externally today, but it takes the single USB port (for power) which had my wireless dongle attached there. Was wondering if the Oppo 93 can use a USB hub so I can attach both? I tried a search of this large thread but came up with posts that people have had success with some and posts that others can't get a hub to work. Is there any further info. if a USB hub will work and which models? Coincidently, got a e-mail from Amazon.co.uk today that The Beach Blu-ray has been delayed until Aug.

Thanks Streamerlover

I did try to turn of 1080p/24 setting with no difference. BTW, my Toshiba is also set to 1080p/24 with no problem. I swapped cables and changed HDMI input ports on my Sharp.

Try cycling through all the resolutions. Do you get an image for any of them?

-Bill

For the sake of it, I tried one more time turning off the 1080p/24 setting, and my cranked up the resolution to 1080p. And yes, it works. I was pretty sure, I tried turning off that setting before....
Anyway, thanks for all who tried to help!!! Now I can enjoy my Oppo

HA! I was going to ask you if you WERE SURE you turned it off but I guess I know the answer now! Odd, though that your toshiba will output it and your tv will accept it but not the oppo. I did not think that set could handle 24..

Hmmm, if that is the case, I may just stick with the older 57-0917 firmware that I currently have now. Nevertheless, I will download the BDP9x-61-1219 firmware to my computer just in case.

The only main reason that I bought the OPPO 93 last week from Amazon is for the 3D .iso playback and nothing else.
I already have the Dune Smart H1 for 2D .iso and REMUX .mkv playback so the OPPO 93 will not be used for 2D movies. I know, it is an expensive 3D .iso machine but I think it is worth it.

I'm wondering what I can do about preventing movie height stretching. I have some movie files that are an unusual pixel dimension - one movie is 1920 x 800. When I play it, the height is getting stretched to fit my 1080 display. I use the Oppo in Source Direct, going HDMI to my Denon AVR. I've tried different Oppo resolutions, as well as different AVR settings, but I can't seem to prevent the stretching from happening. Should I be able to play back the movie at its native size and have it centered onscreen?

Is this coming from some media file?

-Bill

I have that issue sometimes only with certain files.
I run those probelmatic files through MKV Merge GUI.
It take only a couple of minutes and it generates a new file

http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkv....4.0-setup.exe

Yes its an .mkv file.

It seems that other mkv files that are not 1080 in height also get stretched, so I don't think it is a bad file. They play fine on my computer.
