Well I am sure I have found out, quite simple really, I tried to watch a film - a Momentum studios one - now flung across the room as I could not get to the menu , so put in a Warners film - Warners logo then menu - pressed select on play and straight into the film - ah luxury.

Now from what I have read is that the studios with lots of warning before you get to the film are pirated a lot more than ones which let you watch the film. :-?

I have ended up now with a few films along with ripped copies of the very same film - eg Sunshine, quite a good film , but I could not get past the rubbish into the menu , the copy press menu and up it comes. 8-)

I never even got that far on the original.

As I do not like ripping off films and do collect them, so get very annoyed that I have to do this - so now I fully understand that the DVDs with loads of compulsary warnings and trailers are the most copied.

I still need to find email addresses for these companies, or should I write to them to complain.

Hello Momentum - send me a copy I can watch or I'll sue you, or replace for a lot of people, with - download.

BTW this shite has made me change choice of film for the two last films I watched.

Actually while I am at it time to be rude to Sony as well.

Why do BluRays on PS3s go green on SD TVs?

And don't ask why I bought them (less locked than DVDs as well as better sound picture) I will get an HDTV sooner rather than later.

Don't aim to close to the TV that KV32DX20 might make a big bang

Im getting a PS3 this weekend for watching Blue Rays on my HDTV, no probs there is there?

[Mr Skrunts]

Martin.

Is the problem with the OEM or have they been Pireted.?

Production company can only chase and hunt down the pirates if they are made aware of them.

I sometimes have problems with disks that jump even though they are not scratched.  If I rip them and copy it to a new disk it works but the irony here is that I breaking the law doing it!  Dont we live a great free democracy huh?

I believe if you own the original you allowed too make a back up copy.

Not that id download films the quality of originals at a fraction of the cost.

Thats right for us in the UK, dunno if thats the same in Germay though.

Brand new official DVDs from the likes of Fox or Momentum - they lock down all the controls so you cannot watch the film - copies of them play perfectly

I just want to watch a film - listen to a good commentry not fight the DVD to the point I am ready to CBS it.

There are a few films I haven't watched due to lock downs

I have a phew discs embeded in the plaster board for that very reason, drives me up the fncking wall, i payed for the f@cking thing its my disc and they make me watch their adverts and warnings...and dont even talk about it auto starting as well. if it auto starts and goes straight to the menu great, thats what i want, get it q,ed up ready to play when we sit down with a nice meal and a bottle of wine  and..... 10 mins of warnings and adverts...WARNKERS!!!!

not sure if it is warners but seemed appropriate.

mate of myn downloads habitually and wants to bring round the latest blockbuster and watch it in divx on our tv, plays it from his phone or memory stick via ps3,but i dont want to watch it in divx! i want it in 1080 with 5.1 with my face 6 feet from the screen and the volume up full.  
 What is the point in spending an arm and a leg on hdtv then watching inferior quality films that look ten times worse than what you had on your old tube tv? well the only point for me is if there is a film that you are not sure you will enjoy and dont want to risk spending cash on then i might watch it, and tbh the quality aint to bad on our tv witch does a bloody good job of sorting out the divx blocky mess, and he does now get the odd 5.1 but i wont watch the big films on divx, it just ruins it for me. And before the righteous start up i dont download either,as its illegal, and pointless imho.

I want the disk on the shelf, i want the box and the cover and the bumph, but above all i want the quality of sound and hd experience that i paid for. The real irony of that is its the very people moaning about illegal downloads that are cocking it up for me by taking away control of my own disk. Thats what REALLY gets me cooking.

Its all down to money at the end of the day, the film makers want as much as possible and full price for their DVD's. Joe public wants to watch a film as cheaply as possible. I have just bought Hot Fuzz from Tesco for £3, it was originally £12.99 or something. Perhaps if the genuine copies - hang on - how can a copy be genuine? were cheaper the pirated ones would be less attractive. It is the same with cigarettes, a collection of discarded cigarette packets picked up at a football ground after the match produced 60% foriegn no duty paid packets. Brown and Co were whingeing about the loss of revenue, perhaps if there were less UK duty the foriegn imports would stop.

[Martin_1962]

Warners have copywrite pages straight after the film - you can buy Warners with no worries.

I have cut back also due to waiting for a new TV.

Just bought them in sales. But If I pay £5 for the film, then rip it then burn a copy - I might as well download as it would be less effort.

Mind you downloading did help to get rid of HD-DVD, as HD-DVD rips would play on a PS3 perfectly, but for BluRays you purchased it, and since most HD disc players are PS3s not supporting the PS3 was a mistake.
