Insignia Blu ray and Netflix streaming

I have an Insignia NSWBRBDVD2 wi-fi player.  Most ot the time when I am streaming Netflix it works fine but if it has to rebuffer, it gets stuck and the only way I can get out of it is to turn the unit off and start all over.  I am going to try and plug an ethernet cable into it to see if it makes a difference.  Has anybody had this problem?

What type of internet connection are you using such as dsl cable? If you know your internet speed such as ??mb/s that would help as well. Sometimes if the connection is already a little low to be streaming netflix, and then you go wireless, buffering can be an issue where it will continually try to rebuffer until it won't even play. If it is freezing though and won't do anything at all it could be an issue with the actual players software. Regardless of the rest of my questions yes using ethernet is better and will normally make a difference. While you are at it, update the players firmware in case you haven't already as it has a fairly new update that does apply to netflix to update it to the newest version: http://insigniaproducts.com/products/dvd-players-recorders/NS-WBRDVD2.html

  • LG blu ray players to stream FIOS channels wireless

    I am looking to try using a wireless LG blu ray player to stream some channels from FIOS instead of having to purchase additional cable boxes for some bedroom TVs.  I can not find the technical requirements  I need in a device to get this to work.  Is FIOS DLNA compatible? Has anyone found a wireless blu ray player that has had experience with streaming channels from Verizon as is advertised on their website?

    The first link contains support information for LG streaming devices. At the bottom of the page it shows the two currently supported Blu Ray players. You would need to do your own evaluations in regards to the wireles. But right now I have for example, Redbox Instant Beta loaded in my Iphone and it streams Via 3G or Wifi.
    The Redbox Beta list of players is not final, as the service is being tested.
    Not the same as a BD player, but my X box is streaming those 75 channels with an ethernet cable, and I have not tried it with wireless.
    Samsung information is also available from Verizon.
    I hope this information is helpful. They may not show it but here are Verizon's listed devices that can download the app from the app stores.

  • Insignia Blu Ray with Yamaha Reciever

    I have and Insignia blu-ray player NS-WBRDVD and a Yamaha HTR-6030 receiver.  The receiver doesn't have a HDMI input but it does have two optical and one coaxial input along with a bunch of others.
    I connected the bluray optical out into the Yamaha DTV/CBL optical in.  I do get a PCM indicator symbol on the reciever but I only get sound out of the front left and right speakers, also on the speaker indicators only those two ight up.
    I ran the basic set up test and I get sound out of all of the speakers one at a time as the receiver runs the test.
    I also notice that I don't get the DTS symbol to light up.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Eddie

    What output setting is the receiver set for i.e. Dolby Prologic, Stereo, 6.1/7.1 Channel?  I would need to know what each setting is on the DVD player for audio out and the receiver.

    If you mean Ethernet, your computer already has it. If you're referring to something else, what is it?

  • Connecting Insignia Blue Ray Player to Home Wireless Network

    OK, I am having problems connecting my Insignia Blue Ray Player to my home wireless network. Under network settings I was able to connect to the network, but it can't seem to acquire an IP address. All the other devices connected to the network are working. I'm not very proficient at this obviously, but does anyone have any thoughts?

    If there is a configuration option on the BD player, set it to auto.

  • Workflow for creating one project that can be burned to both Blu-ray and standard DVD?

    Hi,
    I have a 20 minute project and I'm creating a simple single menu with a play button. I'd like to create it once and be able to burn both a 1080p Blu-ray and a standard DVD. Is this possible?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Let me explain how transcoding works for DVD and Blueray.
    Encore transcodes the files separately for DVD and Blueray and once the transcode is done and status shows transcoded the options for transcoding are greyed out, this means you have already transcoded the file and you cannot transcode again without reverting to original.
    For example you have blueray selected in project settings and you click transcode now from project panel the files will be transcoded for blueray, but after transcoding if for any reason you decide to change the transcode settings and transcode the asset again with different settings you have to revert to original.
    But in this case when you want to transcode the assets for DVD you don’t need to revert to original and loose the transcoding done for blueray. You can change the project settings from blueray to DVD after that you will be able to transcode for DVD without losing the transcoded files for blueray.

  • Best workflow for burning Blu-ray and DVD

    Hi,
    What's the best workflow for effciency sake for burning both a Blu-ray and a DVD of the same project?
    Essientially I'd like to export and create a menu once, then be able to downrez to DVD. However, I'm not sure that is possible since blu-ray and DVD are differnt codecs.  
    Thank you

    The only way that you can get acceptable re-scaling of menus is to go from BR to DVD, and do the editing in Photoshop.  Simply re-scaling the menu here will not give acceptable results.
    I usually copy the various button layers from the BR menu to a new DVD menu file created using the provided Photoshop preset.  You will still have to do  some manual re-scaling and alignment.  The thing that has given me the most trouble over the years is round button highlights - a segment is often chopped off.  Font sizes will probably need adjusting too.
    Unless you are adept with handling layers and groups within Photoshop, it may be easier to start again.
    Any attempt to convert within Encore is unlikely to produce acceptable menus in my experience.

  • Macbook pro late 2011, completely messed up, everything I click it brings up beachball very slow, blue ray and hd unwatchable as it jerks. genius bar app didnt help at all, very disappointed, can some1 help me?

    Macbook pro late 2011, completely messed up, a macbook pro of this year should not be operating like this, everything I click it brings up beachball very slow, blue ray and hd unwatchable as it jerks. genius bar app didnt help at all, very disappointed, can some1 help me?

    You have a hardware problem. It is probably the hard drive is either to full, not enough free space, or it is starting to fail.
    If you have an external drive connec that to the system and use the Recovery HD, Command + r keys at startup, to install a clean fresh copy of OS X Lion on the external then run the system from that. It will be slower but if you don't get the beachball then that is the sign your internal drive is on its way out or is filled up with files and not enough free space.

  • Alternative to Blu-Ray and HD DVD players?

    I just watched The Keynote presentation for 2008 and saw that there is a new software update that revolutionizes the Apple TV. The first idea that came to mind is the battle between Blu-Ray and HD DVD. With the HD capabilities of the Apple TV now and Dolby Digital 5.1 support, would it be safe to say that, if one wasn't worried about having a hard copy of the HD movie, the Apple TV could be an alternative to the battle of the current generation of formats?
    Could one say that the Apple TV does the same job as these high definition players? Let it be noted that I haven't experienced movie quality in iTunes yet.

    There are 3 separate issues here.
    First, the monitor quality and capability:
    If you have 1920x1080 resolution monitor that can display 1080p (progressive scan), then ATV will be significantly inferior than BRD or HD/DVD player sending 1080p signal natively to full HD monitor. If your monitor is less than that (say 1366x768 or 1280x720 and can handle only 1080i (interlace) or 720p), probably not all that much different than ATV displaying at 720p (which is 1280x720). The only thing is the amount of bitrate (data per/second) that ATV content provides versus BRD or HD/DVD content.
    Second, all BRD and HD/DVD players "upscales" 480i DVD (Stand Def) content to 1080i/p, which can be quite good. I've not been impressed with ATV's ability to upscale 640x480 content (iTune SD content) to large monitors. Also, SD DVDs are actually encoded at over 800x480 for widescreen content these days and bitrate is much higher than 1500 for iTune movies.
    Third issue:
    The audio on ATV HD content is 5.1 whereas DolbyHD and DTS equivalent are 7.1 - which if you have setup your room with 7.1 system (like I have), 5.1 is a bit of a disappointment. Further, SD DVD from iTune store is still DD2.0, and while most receivers can handle that into DD-II/IIx, it is simulated and not discrete sound output. SD DVDs have 5.1, 6.1 and 7.1 depending on content/movie.
    So the long answer to being BRD or HD/DVD player alternative is it depends. One must tradeoff the benefit of a dedicated player in addition to ATV (or MacMini for that matter).
    Certainly cannot debate about the convenience, if one has a decent broadband connection and n/g router setup.

  • Output to Blu-Ray and Audio from Gaming videos.

    Just a simple questions, does premiere pro allow output as Blu-Ray. I have a series of home movies, I want to produce as Blue-Ray and all I can find is only DVD publishing.
    On another issue, I am trying to create a video of online gaming that I play and the clan I belong to play to promote the clan, I have some footage from Arma 3, War Thunder, however with my Rust game the audio is very slow. How do I correct this,  Would the video resolution affect the audio. I use Bandicam to capture my online gaming footage which is outputted as AVI file.  This plays well in Windows Media Player, Realplayer, and PowerDirector (Does Blu-Ray 3D).  I have been told by quite a few clan members that premiere pro was a good video editing software so I wanted to try and see for myself seeing I have a complete Creative cloud Subscription.
    Video informations is as follows:
    codec MPEG 1   Resolution: 1912 x1060 @ 30fps
    Audio is MPEG -1 Layer 2 48000Hz @192 kbps Monophonic
    Codecs are installed.
    The audio, almost sound as thought I am speaking in game in slow motions,  I have tried to increase the speed, got as far as 500% which is still too slow.  I am new Premiere Pro.
    It would be greatly appreciated if someone could assist me with this.

    Premiere Pro BY ITSELF will not create DVD or BluRay... you may export files for authoring in EncoreCS6, which is a separate download... go to the bottom of page #5 at The PPro/Encore tutorial list http://forums.adobe.com/message/2276578 for more information on using PProCC with EncoreCS6

  • Settings For HDV to Blu-ray and DVD

    What is the best strategy for avoiding unnecessary rendering and transcoding issues? I edit HDV or AVCHD (from a DataVideo DN-60) in Premiere Pro CS6. I want to output to multiple formats - DVD, Blu-ray and Flash from the same project. I'd like to maximize quality as well to fit project on disk.
    I'd also like to know which format most easily transcodes for my purposes. I typically shoot 23.98 or 29.98 fps 1080p, but sometimes 1080i.
    I assume Dynamic Link is the way to go, but it doesn't look like the resulting settings are automatic. For example, if I go into project settings after Dynamic Linking a PPro sequence, and choose Blu-ray, I would expect the transcode settings to match the imported project. If it does not, then what should I change the default settings to?

    Let me clarify the intent of my original post. I have read in places that it is best to choose export and DVD project settings that match the original footage whenever possible to avoid rendering problems. So, if I shoot and edit HDV or AVCHD footage say at 29.98 fps progressive, then what corresponding settings should I use for DVD and Blu-ray?
    I see that with 29.97 fps the progressive option is not available in the Blu-ray
    presets. Should I not shoot progressive then at 29.97?
    How do I maximize quality of the video while fitting on a single disk? The only way to do it automatically is to Dynamic link, which you advise against. If I manually set exports, then I must calculate all the sequence outputs from Premiere. What then should my priorities be? For starters, MPEG2 Blu-ray or H.264 Blu-ray? What should take precedence, bitrate settings or number of passes?
    I am also considering render/transcode speed. How do the above settings affect speed?

  • I used the digital download from my purchased Blu-Rays and they will not sync with either my iPad or iPhone 4, saying they did not transfer because I am not authorized on this computer. I tried de-authorizing and re-authorized my MacBook Pro already

    I used the digital download from my purchased Blu-Rays and they will not sync with either my iPad or iPhone 4, saying they did not transfer because I am not authorized on this computer. I tried de-authorizing and re-authorized my MacBook Pro alreadydigial

    I just got a Touch 32GB yesterday and ran into the same problem. I have two PCs in the house that I can sync my iPods on, but I normally use one that DOESN'T have an internet connection, so that the one that does is free for others to use ... a great argument and tension solution, btw.
    Anyway, I hooked up the older "iTunes" PC to the net for a first-time sync with the Touch, and ran into this problem. First it kept detecting the Touch as an unidentified iPhone, then I couldn't sync my classic either. Then I found a post here about how when multiple USB ports running off same USB controller seem to screw with the Touch/iPhone syncing.
    So I disconnected all but 2 of my USB 2.0 slots (the Touch & the Portable HD with my iTunes Library) and now it's working perfectly. I don't know if this will solve your problem, but it might be worth a try.

    When Apple Blu-Ray will support Mac OS X and and why there are no available? Otherwise I think apple cool even the concept, design and Operating System. Because of that i have to use Windows, BootCamp Parallels. Why thaht? Give us a Blu-Ray Player and supports in Mac Os without those other three thinks. Microsoft an Windows ***** ;-)

  • Insignia blu-ray player NS-BRDVD3 sound issues

    I'm having issues with sound levels when using the Insignia player.  Sometimes the sound fades and I can turn the volume all the way up on my tv and still not be able to hear it real well.  This is sporadic but only happens when I am using the blu-ray player,  both watching a dvd or watching netflix.
    Has anyone else had this problem?   I have it hooked to a Vizio LCD with HDMI cable.

    I have experienced the same problem with Netflix streaming. It looks like the current "fix" for this problem is to connect with component cables and not a HDMI cable. A firmware solution is aparently in the offing from information I've gleaned from the Inginia forums. Not entirely satisfying, but it has worked so far for me.
