Cambridge Audio Azur 650BD - Weirdness
Hi,
I seem to have a problem in that the player refuses to accept the 0.20 version of the disc (first one I've had) - the player simply ejects the disc - no error, no message.
My first thought was - is the disc region encoded....since I'm in the UK on region B - could this be the problem ?
I've made an ISO of the disc and burnt this to a DVD - when inserted this is ejected with the message - 'Wrong Disc'.
I then burnt the image to a CD instead - bizarrely, this works fine and I am able to stream mp3's with no issue - video on the other hand (mpg/m2ts/wmv/mkv) all report the files as unknown media type - what am I doing wrong ?
Many thanks,
Ian.
New Info :-
Ive also now tried the original disc in a Samsung BDP1500 - it is accepted by this player but then always reports that it is unable to find a network connection (despite the fact that the player can successfully check for internet firmware updates and play other BD-Live content). Following the tips the error provides made no difference.
From my experience here the product is along way from being 'release candidate' quality...
We will send you, and others who signed up for beta, production discs when they become available. Those discs should work on your Samsung.
Hi - thanks for the reply.
OK - obviously little I can do with the Azur unit then - strange that the CDR version I created works fine though!
The Samsung player is already on the latest firmware 2.7 (the first BD-Live capable firmware was version 2.0) - so that's not the problem in this case.
In some of your other replies you state that the RC disc is a 'real' rom rather than a BD-R - is this not in fact the case ?
Thanks once again though!
Ian.
Dear ianfretwell,
We have not yet tested with Azur 650BD but no other player we know of simply ejects the disc since it is a valid Blu-ray disc. Just added Azul 650BD to our test list.
On Samsung BDP1500, the original players did not come with BD Live firmware. You have to update the firmware to make it BD Live comaptible (http://hd.engadget.com/2008/10/07/samsung-bd-p1500-update-finally-enable... ). That will solve the network connection problem. But Samsung players do not enable BD Live capability with writable media discs (beta disc is on BD-R not replicated ROM) (see http://www.rayinblu.com/compatibility-and-limitations ). Therefore, Samsung simply won't work with this BD-R based beta disc.
