CAN I BUY A PANASONIC SKYPE READY BLU RAY PLAYER A...

CAN I BUY A PANASONIC SKYPE READY BLU RAY PLAYER AND USE LOGITECH SKYPE CAMERA TOGETHER? ARE THEY COMPATIBLE? OR DO PANASONIC PLAYERS ONLY WORK WITH PANASONIC WEB CAMERAS ON SKYPE?

Following 2 yrs of thread here and just having been given a new Panasonic BD110 3d Blu Ray with a Skype button on its remote, DNLA, built in WiFi, ethernet, BBC i-Player, YouTube etc. I set it up and went thru BluRays, DVD's, HDMI, sound etc. I was impressed, so I bought a decent webcam and plugged it in - nothing happened. Read the manual, did everything spot on, nothing! Pana's web site, Skype, Bing, Google, customer "support", confusion all round.
It seems Panasonic don't now sell either of their own cameras (discontinued? binned? still supported? forgotten? hoping we'll forget) - but the Blu Ray/Skype models are still for sale. If this concept had been made to work, it would have been world beating!! Otherwise a recall and refund or upgrade offer should be made. There's been no apology or explanation that I can find.
This is a scandal from such a reputedly "high end" manufacturer that makes stuff for hospitals even!! And it has published DNLA and other approvals that clearly are not true.
I'll be in touch with Panasonic again and try escalating the issue, though it seems Japan knows about it and are keeping quiet in the hope the problem will fizzle out. We should individually contact the technical press and their web sites and also raise Caine under a Trade Descriptions breach. Making a warranty claim is fully justified too.
We don't know how many they sold and how many want that feature but I'll bet many thousands were made. So if a big enough bunch of us complain we should be able to make life uncomfortable for the idiots who failed us, their own employees, some important business partners, the Standards folks, and the poor souls who have to speak to us on the phone or across the Argos & Curry's counters.

LAN Connection Error: Panasonic DMP-BD35 Blu Ray Player

Hello,
My Panasonic DMP-BD35 Blu Ray player has a wired LAN connection port that is used to download firmware updates.
When I was using a DLink WBR-2310 with Verizon DSL the system worked perfectly with the BD35 player wired to a LAN port on the DLink router. I recently switched to Verizon FiOS and now the BD35 player is wired to LAN port 2 on the FiOS wireless router.
The BD35 is no longer able to connect to the network now that it is wired to the FiOS router. When I run the connection test an error is returned, "Cannot obtain IP Address using DHCP." However, all of my other network devices (Wii, Laptops, Desktops, Print Router, etc.) have had no problem connecting to the router, both wirelessly and wired. I have even wired a laptop to the jack that the BD35 is using and the laptop connects just fine (wireless turned off). Also, I checked the Port Configuration screen on the router and Port 2 is showing that it is connected at 100Mbps Full-Duplex when the BD35 is on, but the device does not appear on the list of devices connected on the My Network screen.
Here are the settings on the BD35:
- IP Address Auto Configuration (DHCP) = ON
- DNS Auto Configuration (DHCP) = OFF
- Auto Detect Connection Speed = ON
Does anyone have experience with this issue? Is it possible to setup a Static IP for the BD35 in the router using the MAC Address for the BD35?
Thank you!

I'm not familiar with the Panasonic BD35 but I would suggest that you try it with DNS Auto Configuration turned on.
You may also be able to set it up with a manual address that is way out of the range of anything that you woudl normally use.
Try the following:
Check the TCP/IP Address that your PC is getting. Assuming your IP Address is set to 192.168.1.x set the Panasonic to
IP Address: 192.168.1.200
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.1.1
DNS: 192.168.1.1
The Verizon STBs will use 100 to 150 and your other DHCP Devices woudl normally use the addresses between 2 and 99.
If you still have problems try using OpenDNS and set the DNS address to 208.67.222.222.

Does anyone know when the Panasonic DMP-BD30 Blu-Ray Player will be available? The last I heard was Nov. 13th. but I don't see any in stock.
Thanks for any information.

That's the first thing I'd try. If that doesn't work, in AirPort Utility put the Time Capsule into "manual setup" mode, then pull down the menu option Base Station -> Equivalent Network Password.

I have a late 2013 27" iMac, can anyone recommend a really good external blu-ray player?

Hi,
I recently purchased a stock late 2013 27" iMac and I'm looking to purchase a really good external blu-ray player. I would prefer a Samsung USB 3.0.
Thanks!

There are many solutions for watching BLU-RAY MOVIES on MAcs.
One is to download Bluray for Mac ... with a blueray player, this little player plays most bluerays perfectly.
You can download a trial for free here: http://www.macblurayplayer.com/
Second, You can get a program called MAKEMKV and use it in combination with VLC PLAYER to convert BLU-Ray to MKV format or STREAM from LOCAL NETWORK FAST to watch Blue Ray Free!!!!
GET MAKE MKV here: http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/34693/makemkv
And VLC PLAYER HERE: http://download.cnet.com/VLC-Media-Player/3000-2139_4-10210434.html?tag=mncol;tx t
There are videos on YOU TUBE to show you how to use MAKEMKV and VLC together.
Also, I just purchased a SAMSUNG Ext. SLIM Bluray writer for under $100 that works great for playing and burning Bluray Disc!
Good Luck

Can I play movies from iPad to blu ray player?, Can I play movies from iPad to blu ray player?

How do you play movie on a blu ray from the iPad ?

Subject of your posts seems to be asking if you can take movies from the iPad and play them on a BluRay player. No, you can't, though there are ways to connect your iPad to a television. The body of your post seems to be asking if you can take BluRay movies and play them on your iPad. No. Commercial DVDs are encrypted. In order to make a copy, you'd need to break that encryption. That's illegal in the U.S., so, we're not able to talk about it on this forum. Sorry.

Hook an internet ready blu-ray wirelessly to network

I have a Panasonic SC-BT200 Blu-Ray player that is internet ready (wired) but I was wondering if a wireless adapter could be inserted to connect it to my network. I am having a hard time deciphering which one is compatible if so.

NO. Your product has no wireless capabilties. You would need a wireless ethernet bridge.

I just got the Sony BRAVIA 60" Class / 1080p / 120Hz / LED-LCD HDTV and I have a Yamaha RX-V1800. I want to buy and hook up a Blu-ray player to both. What the best way to do this? Should I use the optical audio to connect the Blu-ray to the receive and the HDMI to connect to the TV? I really want to be able to use HDMI for the audio but then I'm left with only component video for the TV. I can't filter the sound through the TV, this does not work. Does optical produce good audio?
Solved!

Okay so I did try to run everything through the Yamaha receiver and the refresh rate is just to slow. I put in the DVD Salt and as soon as there was a chase scene I got lot of blurring. Since I'm not going to get a new receiver any time soon is a HDMI to the TV and an optical to the receiver the best option?
You have no idea what you are doing which is why your results are not pleasing. Simply connect the equipment with HDMI cables as instructed and use only Blu-Ray discs as they are full-resolution sources. Your Blu-Ray player applies upscaling and processing to your DVD which is why it looks like crap and your receiver would do the same depending on the settings. You also need to check the settings on your player and HDTV to get them both aligned for the best picture quality.
Well I did use HDMI cables, and I also checked all of the setting on both the receiver and the TV. I did not use a Blu-Ray or player as I have not bought one yet. So are you saying the only way to not get a blur when using this set up would be to only watch Blu-Rays?? That does not make much sense. Also I would like to say I have some idea what I'm doing but obviously not as much as many people on this site, that's why I posted my question here. Thanks though for pointing out the obvious, It was very helpful of you.

Trying to use a Blue ray player on my iMac...

I own a sony blue ray player that i am trying to use as my dvd player on my 27 inch imac. I have a mini display port to hdmi cable that is supposed to work. It is plugged in but when i press the command+f2 button either nothing happens or i get a beep. What do i need to do to make this work?

Hey Scottfromnorthport,
Out of the box you can burn and read Blu ray Data discs.
I'm guessing this is not what you are after.
I'm guessing that you want to watch Blu-ray Movies.
OSX does not support this natively how ever there are 2 solutions.
VLC 2.0 has basic Blu-ray support it can be found here VideoLAN - News
Mac Blu-ray player found here http://www.macblurayplayer.com/
Which ever route you go down. It's not quite as seemless as you would hope.
It still feels a bit clunky. and needs a fast processor although you should be good.

No you cannot.
You can only make a backup dvd of your movies, fo use in itunes on yur computer. You cannot burn a video product to dvd to watch on a dvd player, just as you cannot copy a dvd that you purchase.

Best way to watch Netflix? Ipad 3 or direct connect to Panny ready blu-ray?

I am researching the best way to stream Netflix? Here is what I have;
Brand new iPad 3
Pioneer VSX-1120 which has both HDMI inputs and a iPad USB/rca input.
Panasonic DMP-BDT1-- Blu-Ray with Netflix ready, (has ability to connect to Internet via Ethernet or wirless adapter)
Panasonic TC-P58VT25 full 3d HDTV with HDMI and Ethernet inputs.
Westell 7500 wireless router
What are your suggestions?
Download Netflix on iPad and connect to Pioneer receiver This would stream wireless from the router to iPad Then wired from iPad to receiver???
Just connect the Blu-Ray player or TV to the Router with Ethernet? No wireless involved.
Help...???

I would go Ethernet (assuming it is not a problem running the cable), and allow your Blu-Ray player do the work. That way your WiFi bandwidth for in hone computer-to-computer Data transfers is not affected, and any such in home transfers do not affect your Netflix viewing. Also if you have any WiFi interference it will not affect your Netflix viewing.
This would leave your iPad free to play with during the movie :-)
I would use the iPad to browse and select Netflix movies putting them in your "Instant Queue", so you can easily start watching form the Blu-Ray player. Chances are the Blu-Ray player's user interface is not very user friendly :-)
You can still download Netflix to your iPad, and watch movies directly on your iPad when you do not want to sit in front of your TV (such as when you are away from home, or someone else is using the TV).
This is more or less the setup I use, only I have an internet capable TV with Netflex built in. I had the option of Ethernet or WiFi, and went Ethernet, for all the reasons above, especally since browsing Netflix via the TV interface is a pain, but selecting a movie already in my Netflix Instant Queue was easy. And I still watch a movie on my iOS device, if that is more convent.
If the Blu-Ray Netflx experence is not as good as using the iPad, or if there is extra expensive equipment to buy, or getting Ethernet to the TV location is a problem, them adjust your setup accordingly.

Can I connect my iMac's iTunes library via wi-fi to my Blu-Ray player so I can listen to the music on my computer with my home theater system?

My music library is on my iMac, located in a different room of the house than my home theater system with a decent Denon receiver and good Infinity towers. I have an iPod connector to the Denon which I can use, but the iPod has a limited library of songs, so I would like to somehow access my iMac music library and be able to play it through the home theater system. Hard wiring the components is out of the question due to length of run through several rooms of the house, no basement and cathedral ceilings. I already have my iMac and my Panasonic Blu-Ray player both connected to my wi-fi, and it seems there should be a way to connect both of them using the wi-fi. The blu-ray player is DLNA, but the Mac isn't, so that is out of the question. Is there any other way to get these components to talk to each other over wi-fi?

There is a DLNA media server called MediaLink that is designed for use with the Play Station 3. It is not advertised as working with other DLNA clients but it usually will. I use it to stream audio, video and pictures to a WDTV media player in my bedroom. Works great, even supports iTunes playlists. I believe it still has a free trial period so you can see if it works with your player.

How can i put HD movie on a blu ray

I don't understand Apple. I bought an iMac last week because I primarily do video and photography. I was always told Macs were the way to go for such work. Now I am learning that Apple isn't exactly on the cutting edge of technology. Their idea of HD is 720p. I have a 1080p camcorder, a blu-ray player and burner, and a 1080p HDTV. I returned the Apple TV because it only did 720p. And Apple has no support for blu-ray. So basically I am limited to 720p for all of my edited movies because Apple refuses to provide any solutions. Did I completely miss the boat on something? Everyone always told me, "Once you go Mac, you never go back". Well I'm already wishing I had my PC back so I could watch my movies in full 1080p. I find it hard to believe Apple could be so far behind the curve on this one.

I'm not sure what you're talking about - iMovie does 1080 - my Canon shoots in 1080p; now, after doing extensive tests when I first got it, I have decided to process the footage at 720p because a) while buying my HDTV, I literally could not tell the difference between 720 and 1080 at the distance I watch; b) my HDTV is 720p so processing the footage at 720 makes sense, and c) file sizes are grossly huge (I'm currently working on a project and have 90 GB of various files/clips littering my hard drive - and that's about one hour of video in 720p - in 1080 it'd be double that). Also, rendering and processing will take much longer. So I shoot in 1080, use MPEG Streamclip to convert it losslessly to 720 and then move it into iMovie. The result is great on my TV - granted, not blu-ray, but quite good (enough for me).
And, if you buy Toast (Roxio Toast), it has a plugin so you can burn blu-ray quality - they say; I use Toast, but not the plugin because I tried that as well and could not see enough of a difference to make it worthwhile for me. For me, 720 is fine.

If you can find such a thing. I really doubt that exists since USB is a data connector not a video connector.

That would depend on this adapter.

Can i use the apple tv3 to connect a blu-ray player to the internet through the ethernet port?

I Have a blu-ray player which can access teh internet but only through a wired connection. Unfortunately, do to some renovating a can't really pass a wire from my router to the player. I was thinking of getting the express base station and hooking up an ethernet cable and getting it to connect that wy. However, for just an extra 10$ i can get teh apple tv and started to wonder if it would do the same.
Anybody know if i connect an an ethernet cable between my blu-ray player and apple tv3 if it will be able to connect to the internet?
Thanks for you help!

Your blu-ray play can't play to your AppleTV, neither using a wired connection or wi-fi.
AppleTV only support compressed format. Therefore, your AppleTV require your content to be within your iTunes library and on the supported format; http://www.apple.com/appletv/specs.html
There are however wireless devices on which you can plug an HDMI cable. I don't know the price of such wireless devices but you'll find them on the net.
