OzyColin Posted April 21, 2012 Posted April 21, 2012 Hi All, Finally got around to picking up the BR 5 disk set for Game of Thrones this week and chucked on the first episode last night. Absolutely first class, as I expected But there was a problem. On two occassions, the picture just froze (for about 10 seconds I reckon) then resumed, appearing to after missing footage slightly - i.e. jumped ahead. I had a close look at the disk surface and nothing absolutely physically obvious. Anyone else have the same issues? I'll return it of course for an exchange.

I had the disc stop on the load up screen a couple of times........from memory boardwalk empire did this as well. Had to power the oppo off to reset. Maybe worth checking your firmware is latest for your Bluray player?
OzyColin Posted April 22, 2012 Author Posted April 22, 2012 Cheers Cooksta - ok, worth looking into - interestingly though, never had any issues playing any other BR. Will play another episode this evening and see how we go there. Thanks for the feedback!

OzyColin Posted April 23, 2012 Author Posted April 23, 2012 Thanks for posting that CWT! A very informative (and very dissapointing) read. Whilst there seemed to be sporadic issues, with PS3s, Oppos etc, it certainly seems the Sony BDnnn models copped by far the most incompatability issues - I've asked Sanity to get me another BD and I'll try that one.Mind you, others in that other forum post seemed to have a LOT more problems, at least mine didn't freeze completely. I have to agree too with some of the comments - the menu navigation is (imo) rediculous, why have episode 3 on the box, disk etc as disk 2 then have a navigation to it on disk 1, only to be told to load disk 2- seems pretty senseless to me. Still a fantastic series though - watched 4 episodes so far (no probs with eps 2-4 (touch wood!) )
David Williams Posted April 23, 2012 Posted April 23, 2012 I've noticed a few 'series' do that kind of insanity of having the same menu on all disks and then asking you to put another disk in when you select something. Justified is another series that springs immediately to mind.
OzyColin Posted May 30, 2012 Author Posted May 30, 2012 (edited) On the Navigation issues - YES - why oh why do they do that? What's the sense of navigating to an episode that is not on the disk!? On the BD play issues - happy to advise that Sanity replaced the one original supplied with an unopened one. Sanity, as you are no doubt aware, remove the disks for security reasons when placing the cases on their public shelves. I'd say the disk probably got damaged at some stage as a result of this. No issues with what was resupplied play wise I'm pleased to say - other than the stupid navigation of course. I was able to keep the original one until the replacement arrived. Couldn't bare one or two nights without watching one or two episodes. Now I'm fanging for season 2 on BD. Edited May 30, 2012 by OzyColin
David Williams Posted May 30, 2012 Posted May 30, 2012 But I wonder if this might be convenient if you have a directory that contains all the rips? Could be if it works..
