new findings on compatible players

[artgug]

I have a Samsung player here at home, which plays BDAV files from the included software just fine. It will not play discs made from DVD It Pro HD at all. (BDMV)

 

I took 2 discs (1 BDMV & 1 BDAV) over to the local Best buy and here were my findings:

 

The samsung in the store would play neither (funny because mine at least plays the BDAV disc)

 

The Sony and Panasonic players refused to play either disc

 

The pioneer ($1500) one would play the BDMV version from DVD ItProHD, but would not play the BD-AV.

 

 

Any other updates from anyone would be great, if Samsung would just update to allow BDMV, all would be golden here.

 

 

 

Thanks

I guess \BDMV on BD-R/RE is a political decision, I wonder what's the real issue?

Add: PS3 - \BDAV = works (though I haven't got chapter points to work), \BDMV = no

 

Thanks for the info!

 

The newer samsung firmware, i think, broke the \bdav playback.

 

Would like to see how the new Phillips player does.

Funny- the Panasonic player works for me (BDMV)

We need to add firmware version to the equation...
