Playing 3-D disc on new Sony Blueray Player

I just purchased a Sony Bravia TV with HD and 3D. The Geek Squad installed it yesterday and everything was working fine. Now when I try to play the 3-D
movie ,it will not play.When I press play, it reads that a 3D disc is detected but it it then keeps stating that this disc is currently prohibited. Yhe 3D disc was purchased at Best Buy in a package deal with the 3D glasses.Any idea why the disc won't play??? I can get a regular DVD to play without problems.

Connect your player to the Internet and see if there is a firmware update. Do the same with your TV if it's one that has software.

Home sharing only allows you to stream content from a computer's iTunes to an iOS device or another computer (and to copy from the computer to another computer), you can't use it to copy items to an iOS device.
If the apps are still in your country's store then you should be able to redownload them on your iPad via the Purchased tab in the App Store app on it, and for music (if you are in a country where music purchases can be redownloaded and they are still in the store) then you can redownload them via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on your iPad. Or you can copy them from your iPod to your computer's iTunes library by connecting it and using the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases menu option and then sync them to your iPad.

How can I get my BlueRay player back?

So we got a brand new Sony BlueRay player at Christmas and in March it refused to eject a DVD. I figure it's brand new, so rather than open it and remove the DVD and risk voiding a warranty, I'll send it in for service. I spoke to Jaime in early April and sent it back with a note with my contact information, a request to return the DVD and the receipt. Over a month goes by and I check in only to be told it's been lost. On 6/10 I spoke to Lovee who told me they would be sending me a replacement. On 6/17 I get a very rude call from Joseph who says I need to again provide an original receipt. When I explain that it's in the box they say they can't locate the box, my blueray player or my DVD. Over the course of my communication with the company I was also told that I sent things to the wrong address, couldn't be escalated to a supervisor, told that I had no other options for service, told their computer was down and had to suffer through a terrible and redundant phone tree. Overall, I am shocked at the terrible quality of Sony Customer Service. It's like a bad compilation of all of the worst elements of 90s telephone service. I have purchased many Sony products but I'm horrified of having to go through it again. At this point I just want my BlueRay player back, and want higher ups in Sony to know how terrible this is.

Panasonic 3-d tv and sony 3-d blueray player

I have the tc-p50ut50 tv, and the sony blueray player.
Having a hell of a time getting the glasses to work with a 3d DVD. The glasses work fine if i turn the tv to 3-d and watch cable TV, but when i put in a 3-d movie such as avatar, the glasses won't work and i just see the picture with the red outline or blurriness in words and background. Do i need to get different glasses for the DVD player since the tv is not converting it or do i need to change some setting some where or what?
The glasses are the panasonic ones that you charge with the usb.
Thanks,

yes they paired with the TV. simulated 3d not cable company.
settings are auto 1, medium contrast.
I played with it last night, if i turn 3-d on on the tv and watche the movie i can tell its 3-d with the glasses on but still everything is outlined in red and some stuff is blurry. so i assume the tv protion of simulated 3d is working but the glasses aren't picking up the b;ue ray disc features of 3-d.
Thanks for the info.
Try Auto 2, then manual if that doesn't work. I have my Panasonic set to Auto 2 and 3D bluray work fine.

Sony Bluray player gets weak signal, rarely able to play Netflix

Hello, I got a brand new Sony Bluray player for Christmas about 6 months ago. I have always had connectivity issues with the internet. My current situation is the worst yet. I share wifi between myself in a granny unit on the backside of a main house. The modem/router is new - just went to comcast to switch for the best they have - and is placed by the backdoor so it is as close to my place as possible. My laptop and cell phone connect to the signal but my bluray still has issues. I was able to play netflix for the first time last night but it froze every 20 seconds. The only way to stream without interuption is to play netflix on my laptop and plug it into my tv with an HDMI. This is annoying however bc the main reason I got the bluray was to avoid this. How can I rectify this situation? Booster? A different kind of unit to operate Netflix and Hulu on - Wii? Any suggestions would help! Thanks! ~Kelsey

If your unit is on the same electrical panel as the main house your best bet would be a powerline ethernet adapter. If not then you could try a wifi extender. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/netgear-powerline-500-nano-ethernet-adapter-kit-white/7394184.p?id=1218844155446&skuId=7394184

Have FCP, new Sony HDR-FX7e and an iMac G5 (non intel core) please help

Hi,
This is going to be a bit of a dumb question but i need to ask to be sure of the equipement i have and if i need some new hardawre n my mac to capture the video in HD.
I have an older iMac G5, FCP and a new Sony HDR-FX7e with Belkin 4-6 pin iLink cable.
When i try to capture video that i have filmed in HD 29fps, FCP brings up an error:
Something like: Codec is wrong and also hardware card. I am guessing that the video card is not capable enough as it is the one that came with the mac. Also i am trying to capture the video onto the Hard drive which has 198Gb left. I guess this needs a firewire drive capable of teh right speed.
I am guessing here so please advise as i am so new to this you would not believe and i know it is ambitious of me to expect to plug and play but i can pick it up quickly with the right advice.
Oh, the easy set up i used was on 1080i 60
Thanks,
Neil

Neil,
1) Your best bet is to get 5.1 if you do not have it yet. It is a paid crossgrade, but as long as you have the original install discs it is a simple process.
2) The "e" at the end of your camera indicates that it is the PAL version I believe. Do you edit in PAL? or NTSC? Whichever you use just make sure to choose the proper easy setup.
3) Since you have a G5, I would suggest using that as your video machine. You can get around the firewire situation in one of two ways. First, and best in my opinion, is to purchase a second internal SATA harddrive and install it in the spare bay, set this as your "Scratch Disk" and your off. Second, buy a PCI firewire card and install this in a spare PCI slot, then connect your firewire drive to this. Or, if you feel the need, do both.
4) As for why iMovie works and FCP doesn't, the simple answer is the iMovie is a consumer program that has much lower tolerances than the PRO FCP. From what I understand, iMovie does not capture timecode and does not capture audio and video as separate files, among other things. To do these things there must be proper communication between the computer and camera.
5) Another thought is that your camera may be set to downconvert the footage to SD on output. This might also explain why you got something in iMovie and not FCP. Check in the menu system for your cam and see if it is set to downconvert.

Does iLife 06 recognize the new SONY HDR-SR7E High definition Hard drive

We have the new SONY High definition Hard drive recorder.
I have iMovie06 and the new upgrade iMove08.
I want to import into 06. When i try it says "no camera detected" but it imports fine into 08.
Any ideas?
I dont want to use 08 and then import into 06 because i am worried about it duplicating and we do not have a lot of disc space, and also the quality seems dreadful when i view in 06.
PLEASE HELP - i have so much video to edit, and i really want to use just 06 as i know what i am doing!

sorry, rich kid, .. I don't get all that ..
a few remarks from here:
iM08 is esp. made for that HDD corders.. why not using it?
never judge pic quality in iM itself.. esp. iMHD6 is made ONLY for TV delivery and it delivers excellent quality.. standard PAL/NTSC, interlaced, 'low' resolution, 25/29.97fps ..
HiDef = ~40/50GB per hour.. so disk space shouldn't be an issue in times, you get 500Gigs for ~120€.. you spend so much money on your recording device (and hopefully on your telly/'screen'..) , now you have to 'add' some investment to your edit hardware
iMHD6 doesn't support mpeg2, and it does't support that AVCHD-'flavour' of mpeg2, Sony uses..

is a converter for making such files useful outside iM08 ..

BAD MEDIA ALERT! New Sony DVD-R 16x

There are some new Sony brand "16x" DVD-R's out for approx. 15USD/50 pack on sale at Staples. I have previously used Sony's 8x ones before with fantastic results but these, my friends, are not worth it. Very bad play-back in consumer stand-alone DVD players. A strange faint sector is left after every burn (which I suppose causes the issue). These things have also gotten very poor ratings online as well.
The sale is mighty tempting, but they are definitely a "pass" if you are doing any commercial work.

Hi:
You can check this site about Media Brand vs. Manufatrurer Brand.
You can use Toast to check the media manufacturer ID from your discs to double check they are "what they must be".
Besides that remember that compatibility is a combination of elements & factors: your burner + the media + the speed + etc.
Hope that helps !

My HP G70-120EM Laptop with a blueray player will not recognise blueray discs.

my HP G70-120EM Laptop with a blueray player will not recognise blueray discs. Any idea what software update I need?

I also have this problem on an Envy 17 laptop with a HP DVDBD TS-TB23L drive that shows up as a BD-ROM. It will play music and read data discs but not play BLURAY or DVD discs. It is very disheartening to finid such a lack of support for any problems on HP machines and will make me question ever buy an HP device. They seem to produce them at such a rate that they never bother when things go wrong as there is another being produced in the next five minutes. At first I thought this was a problem with the drive but now I suspect it is a software problem they are not bothering to resolve.

Playing Mac Book Videos on My Sony HDTV

I've been doing some research on this subject and I thought I would ask some of you here on the forum. I have a new Sony HDTV capable of 480p/720p/1080i and a brand new Mac Book. I want to know what the best method of playing videos from my Mac Book hard drive onto my HDTV is. My set has has component and HDMI inputs. Thanks!

I could be wrong, but I believe one of the differences in DVI v HDMI is that DVI does not carry audio, so you may want to verify that you may need another cable, or not.

Will the USB SuperDrive play blu ray discs?

Will the USB SuperDrive play blu ray discs? Is there another way to play them on my iMac?

The product informationhttp://store.apple.com/us/product/MD564ZM/A/apple-usb-superdrive?fnode=5f does not say anything about Blue Ray, a proprietary Sony format. You can buy a Blue Ray compatible drive from sources like Amazon, Best Buy or computer stores.

The best way to play blu ray discs/movies UP TO DATE

I am a huge TLOTR fan (lol) and up until recently I thought the quality of the movie i have(in digital form) was decent or even great, I recently bought a 15" inch macbook pro(2.2ghz)-- my first apple computer--- and when I played the same exact movie, the quality just looked terrible, in fact every digital movie I own doesn't look as stunning or high quality I thought it was. I'm slowly upgrading my movie library to a better quality one and the first thing I have to have is "the lord of the rings" trilogy(extended version) , so I guess the closest i can get to high picture quality is by buying those blu ray discs, one problem: how do I play blu ray on my macbook pro and will I experience a better quality than those normal DVDs.
According to your experience with blu ray, which is the best way to play blu ray discs on a macbook? ( please provide steps or pointers since I'm new at this)
Also, any alternative suggestions to be able to watch the movie in high quality is welcome, i just thought blu ray was the closest thing to perfect quality. Keep in mind i can't buy from itunes since I don't own a credit card.
TL;DR : I need to play blu ray disc movies on my 15"macbook pro 2011, what's the best way to go about this to get as close to full quality as possible. Also, would it make any difference if I bought blu ray disks versus the conventional DVDs (regarding movie quality)? Since the screen resolution of the 15" pro is not enough to experience "full HD quality"?

I am sorry to say that you cannot play Blu-ray movies on any Mac. Whether any of us agree or disagree with this, it is the way of things currently. One can rip Blu-ray movies to a Mac, and play them without menus or extras, but this is illegal and it is a violation of the terms of use of these forums to discuss.

Getting my new Sony Handycan DCR-DVD92 mini disk data into FCE

Getting my new Sony Handycan DCR-DVD92 mini disk data into FCE?
The mini disk will not work in the Powerbook G4 slot reader, so I hear, and the software for editing the data runs on the dark side.
I am aware that I could do it OK on the PC and probably burn a regular DVD disk that I could then read into FCE.
However, I would like to leave the PC and the dark side behind and do it all on the Powerbook. Addonics has an external tray firewire reader supposed to work OK on a mac. Is their stuff any good?? This is their Mobile DVD/CDRW 16x52x24x52 Firewire unit. $125.00. Will it really work on my Powerbook?
Assuming it works, can FCE work with the Sony format? Probably not. Is there any software to convert the Sony to FCE's liking?

PBG4 17 Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Dear Mr. Chroma,
Al, you may have supplied the answer. I do have a DV tape camcorder and perhaps I can dub from the Sony mini-disk to the DV tape. And then go to FCE! Yea!
The Addonics thingey is an external DVD drive with a firewire link and it has a tray for the input. The mini-DVDs cannot be used with the Powerbook DVD slot, but can be read with a tray drive.
Thus, I could read the mini-DVD data into the Powerbook. However, I am not sure that I am out of the woods at that point. Maybe I am. I have read that the mini-DVD is in MPEG-2.
I like your suggestion because I already have the DV tape camcorder and can find out if the data is compatible with FCE without spending more money.
I do not believe that there will be any analogue to digital conversion. Everything is digital all the way. The results when playing the mini-DVD from my camcorder seem to be very good, according to the Amazon reviews. And, Wikipedia says that MPEG-2, with some modifications, is also the coding format used by standard commercial DVD movies.
However, the proof will be in the pudding.
I do not have FCE yet. It is supposed to be delivered tomorrow. I am just doing a lot of homework right now.
Thanks again.

Will PPRo support new Sony HDR-AX2000 in 24P Mode?

The new Sony camera looks quite nice, but I am curious if the current version of PPRo will support the 24P format it delivers. It says it encapsulates it in 60i, similar to other vendors, but not sure it will convert it over propertly to a true 24P like Adobe provides support for the Panasonic cameras.

If you leave it encapsulated inside the 60i and put it inside a 60i timeline it will play just fine, but won't be true 24P (although will maintain the same general look, it is just interlaced and you won't have full progressive frames which may or may not matter depending on what you are doing). If you want a true 24P timeline you will need 3rd party software to extract it, like Cineform's Neoscene which worked great on my Canon cameras which also encapsulate inside of 60i. I have seen in blog posts where people have tested with the new Sony and said Cineform works fine.
A couple of notes on the AX2000, by the time you factor everything in and all the accessories, etc, the HXRNX5U (it's more advanced brother) to me is a better buy and in my opinion will get a better resale. However, you may also want to consider the HMC150 from Panasonic, I also was tempted to get the Sony, but just bought the HMC150 because of a number of reasons. Even though it doesn't have the 20x zoom, it has comparible low light performance, better colors, a better way to focus (which is very important with HD content), can write to true 24P without having to do any conversion, and it is much lighter and has a proven track record. With CS5 coming out now and having the ability to truly take advantage of the GPU, memory and multiple cores, it is going to be possible now to edit natively in PPRo without doing any conversions and I for one really look forward to that because when you convert to something like cineform you are making much larger files and it adds to the workflow time as well. With the Panasonic you just record in 24P mode (720 or 1080), copy it to your hard drive and you are ready to edit. There are still some advantages to the Cineform codec, like 10 bit 4:2:2 color, but depending on what you are doing you may not need it.
Hope this helps. It would be interesting to here from anyone who had the HMC that also uses the Sony.

Inability to play on Mac DVD burned on Sony DVD Recorder

I burned an old VHS onto a Sony DVR-R disc, using a Sony RDR-VX560 Recorder. The resultant DVD played fine on the Sony TV set, but I could not play it on my Mac. On insertion into the Mac, I got a Disc icon titled: "SonyDVD_RECORDERVOLUME" but the Disc did not open automatically, as usual, nor would it open in the DVD Player app. Upon double clicking the icon a screen w/the DVD title as its name appeared w/a folder titled "DVD_RTAV" opened, w/2 items enclosed. The 2 enclosed folders, were titled "VR_MOVIE.VRO" and "VR_MANGR.IFO" respectively. Upon opening the folders, each produced a DVD Player app msg: "There was a problem opening the media. The media type is not supported." This was my 1st attempt at dubbing though I have been successfully burning and playing the same Sony discs on this Mac and TV for some time w/minimal problems. I'm at wits end trying to resolve this problem and will certainly appreciate any help. Many Thanks.

Did you finalise the disc on the Sony?
PS - This has nothing to do with iDVD, which is the software used to create DVD's on a Mac. You have posted the question in the wrong forum really, it would be better to post the question here :
