[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 909926, member: 325666"] Well ..I thought I understood technology to some degree .. but this errr inovation has me a bit confused if not more than a bit angry... perhaps one of you more informed types can bring me up to speed. Off my neighbour who knows I love films ...I received a double blu ray pack consisting of Rise of the planet of the apes and the recent dawn of the planet of the apes....for Christmas.. Well I own 2 blu ray players .. A Samsung ...and a Panasonic.. Neither would play on the older Sammy ...and only 'DawnXXX' would play on the Panny... So ..Popped the discs one at a time in my htpc .. Which would't play 'em ...as expected ..but the aim was to see that the discs did indeed hold the movies. The menu structure was visible for 'Dawn' but 'Rise' appeared totally blank..??? But rather than return them ...I splashed out another £100 and bought a more recent Panny ...one wiv netflix and internet capability.. ie ..some future proofing .. Sure enough Dawn played perfikly... But on inserinting 'Rise' the player asked for a blank usb stick to be plugged in ... Whereupon something was written to the usb ... and the movie played ?? Being of a curious nature I removed the stick and examined it's contents on the PC .. A BUP directory had been created ...containing a key ..I think..? The movie plays with the key inserted (usb stick)...and also with it removed ?? Really not sure whats going on ..perhaps someone has the answer ..? Perhaps it's time limited ..and eventually I wont be able to play the movie ...but .. First I'm annoyed I had to wipe a usb stick to do this .. Second I'm annoted cos I almost had my neighbour run back to Asda with what I thought were faulty dics.. And Finally I'm bloody annoyed cos I've had to part with another £100 just to watch the movie ..and I already own 2 players ...now 3 Grrrrrrrr Ferkin tech never stands still ... rgds VS [/QUOTE]
