grandpabruce Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 has anyone gotton Roxio Cineplayer to play Avatar Blu-ray Disc. Mine says my player needs an update to play it. Have you played other commercial Blu-Ray movies in CinePlayer? Do you have the Playback Plug-In installed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeep4wheel Posted May 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 Yes, it plays other Blu-Ray movies. I have Cyberlink PowerDVD 10 and it plays it. Roxio Cineplayer won't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandpabruce Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 Yes, it plays other Blu-Ray movies. I have Cyberlink PowerDVD 10 and it plays it. Roxio Cineplayer won't. I don't know what to tell you to try. I hope there is a solution, without uninstalling the software. I am going to get Avatar, on Blu-Ray, myself. It won't be for a week or 2, so if you haven't found a fix by then, I will see if it works with my CinePlayer, which is also 5.3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeep4wheel Posted May 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 Well Thanks, I have told Roxio Tech support about it but, have not gotten a reply. I have 2 ref tickets for this problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sknis Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 Well Thanks, I have told Roxio Tech support about it but, have not gotten a reply. I have 2 ref tickets for this problem. Why 2? Are they the same or do you have ticket twice? That slows down the answers because the two might be confusing for Tech Service. Do you get one or two error messages? The first one saying that the disc is not set up for using a mouse and the second saying that an update is necessary to play the disc? Have you done what is suggested? Note:? I have an external USB blu-Ray DVD burner/player connected to my computer and it won't play on that. It is amazing on my Blu-ray DVD player and HD TV.

tbrewst Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 I don't have a Blu-Ray in my PC but I do have a home one. Pretty much any time you start a disc you get the disclaimer stating your player may need an update. I'm not sure if this is because the standard is always changing or what but my Sony player has done 3 or 4 updates since I've had it.I'm guessing those are for such circumstances. Has Roxio come out with any updates? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeep4wheel Posted May 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 I tried 2 different times to get an answer on this from Roxio and have revieved nothing back from them. That is very poor customer service. I do get the disclaimer screen and the play button is disabled and it is a different color than when it plays on powerDVD 10. It says the software needs to be updated to play this disc. Not you might have to. I have seen that screen before. it plays all my other Blu-Ray discs but not Avatar.

gi7omy Posted May 8, 2010 Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 If other discs play, I'd assume there's something different about the Avatar disc that is preventing it. It may (or may not) be relevant but I do recall an audio CD that was jiggered with to prevent it being played in a computer. It's not beyond the bounds of possibility the same has been done here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeep4wheel Posted May 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 It plays on a computer. I have another Blu-Ray software player called PowerDVD 10. Cyberlink is that brand name and it plays fine with that player on the same computer. I just wanted to know if anyone else had that movie and was able to play it on Roxio Cineplayer software. Yesterday again I tried to contact Roxio about this and recieved no reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since this is a part of Creator 2010 flagship product, you should have free tech service for a time after you bought it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandpabruce Posted May 8, 2010 Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 It appears that there are quite a number of folks who can't play their Avatar BDs. Do a Google on "problems playing Avatar Blu-Ray dis", and you will get a lot of hits. It appears that it isn't necessarily only a Roxio software problem. http://www.bing.com/search?FORM=sCPN&R...u-Ray%20Disk%22 Edited: Missed putting in the word "only".

jeep4wheel Posted May 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 Thanks for all the replies. Just hope Roxio does something with this. I like their software. Plays my other movies really well. I guess there is a problem with Avatar Blu-Ray. Noel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vid2man97 Posted May 8, 2010 Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 The Avatar Blu has very new (took them six months to make it) anticopy software on it. This may or may not explain any DVD player or computer or software that has problems playing it. I'm not an expert on this stuff, but it's the only thing I can think of that may be causing an issue.

I especially like "What Is the Cause" "And if you own an older Blu-ray player without Internet access, you may not be able to watch AVATAR or other new discs either. You may need to upgrade to a newer player." And "The Irony". http://avatarblog.typepad.com/avatar-blog/...among-fans.html cd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeep4wheel Posted May 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 My only question to the last post about the firmware needing to be updated is I already did that, and why does it play on the same drive with a different software player if it were the firmware of the drive. My drive is a year old but, it does play the disc on Powerdvd just not Cineplayer 5.3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeep4wheel Posted May 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 O.K. I figured Roxio would give me that as an answer. They have not made 1 reply to me. Thanks for the response. I think alot of people are having problems with this. My TV box unit played it fine to. Strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds very like the new anti-copying measure is the root cause and needs a patch to overcome it and that will require information to be supplied from whoever designed it (anyone taking bets on how long before it gets hacked by the Russians or Chinese?)
