my samsung bd-p1500 blu-ray player used to play dvds and blu-ray discs with no problems for a good 2 years. but then last year, watching the dark knight on blu-ray, i noticed skipping and jerky frame jumps during certain scenes. i thought something was wrong with the disc. then i noticed that same problem occurring on other blu-ray discs, again only during certain scenes. and then soon after, some blu-ray discs stopped playing altogether. the player would just spit it out during loading saying ''''''this disc is cannot be played.'''''' however, dvds still play fine. i read on some forums that i should try firmware updates. i did an update a month ago. it made it even worse. now i get the ''''''cannot be played'''''' message on all my blu-ray discs! i looked for another firmware update to see if that would fix it, but apparently i have the latest. there are no further updates. what is this film geek supposed to do???

well seeing you've had the blu ray for two year, you could either

1. get a new dvd player, blu ray's are expensive anyway, even blu ray film's cost aboutn 18 quid for a new film, if you really like blu ray, consider paying 200-300 quid for a top of the range model, my blu ray does this sometimes, it's mostly with old blu ray film's, i only buy new blu ray film's now, if i want old film's as well, i stick to dvd's

2. get a blu ray compatable laptop, i watch blu ray on pc alot, without a hitch
