National Treasure 2 Issues

[techguru408]

I was watching National Treasure 2 last night on my Samsung Duo player and when I tried to watch the special features it would not let me. I tried a firmware update but it still did not work. Any ideas? Or is this the ole bend over and take it from the BD group?

I watched it on a BD30 with no problems. Perhaps a bad disc?

Is there any one feature that did not work for you or was it all of them?

The pop up menus worked but NONE of the special features (except previews)

I just have the PS3. When I get it I will look and see if it does the same thing.

Ill check my BD30 out tonight, if no one beats me.(I watched it without issue)

It is probably an issue/incompatiblity with your UP5000. I tried it on my PS3 and also my Philips BDP7200 and it worked fine.

Thanks for checking. I still cant get the bonus features to work....:-(
I really wish BDA would get their act together because it annoys me that I have an expensive and yet obsolete "WINNING" piece of technology.

Had the same problem with the Sony BD-300. Movie played fine but bonus features did not.

Works fine on my BD30. I wouldnt blame the BDA, Id blame the player manufacturer and their FW.

Samsung always was (along with LG) a bastard child of the BDA gang. Must be still paying for venturing on the neutrality side in the past.
FOX was almost proud when the first BD+ discs didn't play on any Samsung/LG players without formware update.
And all this after passing very stringent (Sony's words) compliance tests to get the right to carry the BD logo.
The PS3 of course worked. FOX wasn't allowed to f*uck up that much...
Am I glad Slysoft force fed them some of their own medicine.

Samsung is the one to blame.......glitchy players rushed to market.

Im posting around to see if any others are having the issue on the 5000 and 300.

No I maintain my blame of the BDA. My Samsung has NEVER had an issue with an HD-DVD. They had FINAL specs before manufacture, not a make it up as you go BDA way. I need the Sammy as MOST of my discs are HD (90% to 10% BR) so hopefully they keep up the updates. Still no luck on the bonus features though (even with the new FW update). :-(
