Sony Blu-ray Drive Won't Play Certain Disc I have a Sony blu-ray player (model BD-5300S-0B) for my PC. I purchased it about 2 weeks ago and I recently got an error message when trying to play a certain blu-ray disc. The error message says that I need to update my blu-ray player.
How do I go about doing this?? I tried the URL provided in the error message and it got me nowhere.
Any help would be appreciated.
The software I am using is TotalMedia Theater 5 and it has worked perfectly before. I tried it with one other movie and it worked great. | My System Specs |

It worked. The disc played. I am using a trial version of Arcsoft TotalMedia Theater 5 so I don't really have access to updates. The software cost $100 (which is a bit steep in my opinion) but if I want to watch blu-rays on my PC then I dont have any other choice.

You can try DAPlayer. It's free but I found it a bit flaky and don't use it. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Own build (+ Recased Acer Aspire x1800) OS Windows 7x64 Home Premium SP1 x 2 CPU Intel i7 2600k Motherboard ASUS P8Z68 Deluxe Memory G.Skill Ripjaws (DDR3-1600) 2x4GB Graphics Card Nvidia GeForce GTS 450; Intel HD Graphics 3000(GT2+) Monitor(s) Displays Dell Ultrasharp IPS panel U2311H, Samsung SyncMaster P2350 Screen Resolution 1920x1080 Keyboard Logitech MK520 (wireless) Mouse Logitech MK520 PSU Seasonic M12II 520W Case Lian Li Lancool PC-K60 Cooling Case: 1x120mm, 3x140mm CPU: Hyper 212+ Hard Drives Crucial M4 128GB (000F), Seagates 1TB Barracuda ST31000528AS + Internet Speed 6-7 Mbps Antivirus Norton NIS, Malwarebytes on 2 (MSE on 3rd PC) Browser FireFox Other Info Audio: Logitech Z523 2.1 |
