his problem wasnt with the bluray it was with his tv not being compatible with that framerate.

Negative. The TV was receiving a 1080i/60 signal from the PS3...even as the black screen was displayed.

With the ripped (not re-encoded) file on USB stick, it played perfectly. Same PS3. Same TV.

A PC BD player exhibits the same black screen when attempting to play the disc without defeating region lock protection.

You turned it into a file put it on a USB stick and had the ps3 play the file. That could work, I don't know but it could. If the ps3 treats it like any digital media.

I'm saying the 1080i pal bluray isn't gonna play

You guys talk a lot of shit with nothing backing it up. I bring links to sources that verify what I'm saying. You guys are gonna do some myth busters shit in your basement and come back here and tell me I don't know what I'm talking about.

read more you fucking idiots:

Blu-ray

Blu-ray discs do not use either PAL or NTSC coding but rather are 1080p (p: pixels, of vertical resolution) worldwide standard.


THANK YOU FOR THE SUPPORT! That's PRECISELY what I said!

Beware that there are a tiny minority encoded at 1080i50Hz – sometimes called “1080p 25fps” on the sleeve. They’re basically 1080p content at PAL framerates, and can’t be viewed on US or Canadian TVs without a framerate converter built into the player. ...
Yup yup yup! Thanks for supporting what I said! The player handles the conversion to the selected output mode / signal type!

... It will either send out a signal your display can’t show properly, or just default to a black screen.
How curious that my computer monitor can display 50hz just fine, but the BD playback software put out a black screen.

How curious that it works fine on both the PS3 and the BD playback software by simply removing the region-lock protection. :hmm:

So you have been saying all along that without a frame rate conversion the bluray won't play? That is not what I have been seeing.

Anydvd is probably doing a real time fps conversion and you think it's magic. Lol.

AnyDVD does no such thing. It works on the SCSI/ATAPI driver level, so all other software sees an unprotected BD movie in the drive. If you change an option (examples: enable/disable, bypass region, bypass prohibited operations), it simulates the disc being ejected and reloaded. Then your system sees a region-free disc in the drive or a drive with no prohibited operations (so I can finally PAUSE AND REWIND those unskippable previews that I actually wanted to watch).

Forgetting that the pal formatted bluray is 25fps and won't play on your tv? That was what we initially were talking about... You said it was the region lock. I said it was the fps. Remember? Now you want to do what? Be an idiot more? Ok go ahead.

The PS3 dynamically does frame-doubling or reverse-pulldown to match its selected output mode (1080i/60). The TV never sees a 50hz signal...ever.

The math is different going from 25 to 60 then 30 to 60. Are you sure it's doing that correctly. It's not gonna take much for me to google this

And I'm sure software called anydvd also convert pal to NTSC or to frames readable by your tv. Just fucking stop.

No. They have other products in their software suite for converting, re-encoding, removing content, etc. AnyDVD simply removes copy-protection and annoying features (region-lock, user-prohibited operations, encryption) on the fly. You can literally open My Computer and copy the folder structure of the BD directly to your hard drive and you have an unencrypted backup of the movie. No re-encoding whatsoever. Understand?

If you check the boxes for the different regions it's gonna do what it needs to make it play, including changing the frame rate. But please burn a bluray disk and spend a bunch of time on your science experiment.

It magically does this without impacting system resources? Where does this converted video reside? RAM? Does it automatically cache a 50GB BD to my hard drive and I have never noticed? Somehow available to work with the moment Windows sees that I have inserted a disc?

No. It does not.

It is simply intercepting the region flags when you bypass region lock. That's what it did for DVDs, and that's what it does for BDs.

Yeah I just read more. So I was wrong about some software I don't use. I fucking own it when I'm wrong. I'm not wrong about 25fps 1080i pal bluray playing on your fucking tv.

OK. But my TV never gets a 50hz signal from the PS3.

Looks like the only thing that is gone is the actual word Slysoft. It is now " RedFox " and has a Belize domain. They have already issued updates and its business as usual.

Thanks. Will have to remember that.

What do you call someone who pirates software used to pirate video?

Yeah. They've done that at least one time in the past with Elaborate Bytes / Elbysoft / Slysoft.
