If you ’ve just purchased the first two Pirates motion-picture show on Blu - ray in Holy Order to get psyched up for the third one , you probably total up with a whole pot less Johnny Depp and a whole lot more microcode problem than you expected . seemingly at least two role player — Samsung ’s BD - P1200 and Sony ’s BDP - S1 — have trouble playing back the first two movies , thanks to outdated BD coffee . And by difficultness , we imply they throw up their hands and give up like a fat man at the starting line of a 10K.
Firmware to the saving ? Yes .
Samsung ’s already released a microcode updatehere , which fixes the problem . you’re able to either burn the firmware update onto CD or download it via the BD - P1200 ’s LAN connection . Which fetch us to another item . Why is n’t Ethernet in the Blu - ray part of the manditory specification ?
The Sony BDP - S1 is one of the few actor that does n’t have an Ethernet larboard . Unlike HD DVD , which stool Internet connectivity mandatory , Blu - ray does n’t tells player Creator to go nuts and put it in if they want . That mean disk maker ca n’t count on the Ethernet being there for microcode updates ( well , individual companies can , because they can make all their histrion Ethernet - enable ) . And I do n’t mean Blu - ray content producer are going to count on hardware that is n’t in every set . This is why we privilege the HD videodisc specification as a computer hardware platform , which call for many more things in the spec , so developer can count on the computer hardware support . Blu ray is just patently lucky for all that studio apartment support .
