New Blu-ray DRM Causing Problems with Some Players
Thursday, October 4th, 2007 at 4:00 PM - by John Martellaro
The Blu-ray Disc Association (BDA) has been developing a new DRM system, BD+. It has been reported that the recent FOX release of two new movies using this technology will not play on certain Samsung and LG players, according to High-Def Digest on Thursday.
The movies affected are Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer and Day After Tomorrow.
The two Blu-ray players, the Samsung BDP-1200 and LG BH100, are incapable of playing the movies and come up with a notice stating that a firmware update is needed. While the movies play fine on other Blu-ray players, including the Sony PS3, very long load times have been reported.
Both manufacturers were said to be working on a firmware update. FOX did not provide any comment.
Amy-Mae Elliott, commenting on the situation for Pocket-Lint in the UK, found some strident comments on the High-Def Digest forum: "Too bad Fox was more concerned with pirates than with their customers. Or maybe they dont see the difference," said one annoyed member.
