Due to the different levels of performance in players, some DVD authors insert a variable onto the disc that checks which player the disc is in and adjusts the menu display accordingly. For example, on more powerful players, a circular menu design would smoothly turn from one option to the next which on less powerful menus the options would chunk from one to the next- so to speak. Apparently the problematic players in question do not have the ability to process the player variable and give the black screen of death. The good news is that it should be an easy firmware fix and should be remedied later this year.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Darren Lepke]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 15th 2007 12:03AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on The Descent giving fits to BD-Java-less Blu-ray players]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2007/01/06/the-descent-giving-fits-to-bd-java-less-blu-ray-players/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2007/01/06/the-descent-giving-fits-to-bd-java-less-blu-ray-players/</guid><description><![CDATA[If one installs the larest version of the Firmware from Sony (Version 1.50), "The Descent" does ultimately play.  Once upgraded, playing the movie produces a blank screen for a while, about 1-2 minutes.  After this, a white screen is presented with a little black square in the upper left, then a "Loading Logo Screen" appears and a menu is then displayed and movie progresses normally from there.  The whole process may take a few minutes, and hopefully Sony will make more improvements to increase the performance of these types of disks.<br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Asa Andrews]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 26th 2007 2:57PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
