Oppo and True Grit playback. Anyone else having problems?

Well, I got my copy in today and I will see if it plays nice with the Pioneer BDP 320.

You are detail stupid, and it is just freakin annoying.

Thats why when it started the SONY logo was blazing up the screen,
and it was stamped on the disc!!!
I guess SONY discs are labeled PARAMOUNT.
And it is better to be detail stupid (reading details and assuming they are true) than to be universal stupid, every atom totally tarded,
such as yourself.:1:

The facts will always trump your stupid misinformation.

I watched my copy last night on the bedroom setup, it took a while for the Pioneer BDP 120 to load it and I could see my USB drive flashing as if it was loading info from the disk. The disk played fine with only one hic up around the part when lil matty was getting water, the screen went blank for about 2 secs. My center channel handle all of the dialog with ease and was very clear at mid volume setting.

I guess the concept of Paramount using Sony just as a disc stamper is one too many variables to account for. Or he's just looking for yet another excuse to recycle all of his Sony attack points for the umpteenth time.

In such cases where we replicate other studio's titles, the images are either transmitted to us via WAMNet (high-speed electronic transfer), on on DLT tape. Each image goes through image verification using industry standard Eclipse software to verify correct DVD formatting. We are only responsible for the actual pressing, printing, packaging and distribution or different combinations depending on what the customer requires. Not the content. Customers get samples to test and approve prior to mass replication.

We also replicate titles for Disney who also use Ripguard (Macrovision). Since we're the largest replicator of Blu-ray in the world with a daily capacity of over 1.7M discs, many studios use us including Technicolor, Cinram, Deluxe, Warner, etc too many to mention. Apparently the industry doesn't have the same prejudices PIX does.

Side note...good movie, doesn't break new ground ,but an enjoyable flick.

My Klipsch RC-3 with 200 watts supplied by my Emotiva XPA-3 ate it up :-)

Sat down tonight and watched it on the main system and it played without a hitch. The PQ was very very good, had to turn it up a bit for the center channel to be heard clearly. I actually enjoyed it more this time than on the bedroom system.

I was playing the same Blu-Ray just yesterday and had the same black-out for about the same length of time. Layer change you think? I was playing it on my Oppo-83. Great movie by the by.

Can't say, as I played it on the Pioneer BDP 320 with no issues at all. The load time was normal on the 320 as well, unlike the 120, took a few minutes and as I said I saw that my extra memory (2 gig flash drive) had a lot of activity during that load up. For the length of the movie I would assume if it was a layer change issue it should have came earlier (around the part where the shoot out took place at the cabin). at least you and I have seen the same issue, so I can infer that its not a brand player issue, but back to the disc itself.

There is no way to predict the layer-change by the length of the movie. Especially when you consider what "extras" are included.

I'm not sure about Macrovision's Ripguard, but I know we fill the remaining space on a disc to avoid ripping the title to a smaller disc (single-layer if source is double-layer). Many ripping tools can eliminate menus and special features so only the movie is copied, usually at a lower PQ. Or rip to ISO (DVD), or IMG (Blu-ray) format since most, if not all, players can play it.

Then you are not only ignorant, but blind as well. Oh for two so far, wonder how you are going to strike out...can't smell either?

You may be correct, but history of DVD's and BR that I have watched shows that the layer change occurs around the mid point or later of a movie. I never seen one happen in the first half.

I encountered no problems at all watching the movie on the Oppo 93...although the movie itself was a tremendous let down.
