Blind [UK] – Axiom Films BD.

[Blu-ray player]

Title: Blind (2014)

Region code: It says region “Region Free” on the back of Blu-ray case.

Country: UK

Distributor: Axiom Films

Blu-ray movie release date: 22 June 2015

Issue(s) in detail:

1) The Blu-ray disc appears to load normally with PowerDVD 15 Ultra i.e., the BD loads all the way to the main menu screen.

2) From the main menu, everything appears to play and work normally when selected, everything except for the two items I've detailed in "3)" and "4)" below.

3) In "SPECIAL FEATURES" one of the four items won't play; when I attempt to play the "INTERVIEW WITH WRITER|DIRECTOR ESKIL VOGT", in "SPECIAL FEATURES", the disc loads a one-minute-long Black screen with the following notification: “Copy detected (or a rip tool is running if you are trying to watch this movie on your PC).”, after which the Blu-ray disc promptly returns to main menu screen, with the special feature remaining inaccessible.

4) When I attempt to play the main feature, using the “PLAY FILM” option on the main menu, the Blu-ray disc loads a nine-second-long distributor logo screen, followed by a one-minute-long Black screen with the following notification: “Copy detected (or a rip tool is running if you are trying to watch this movie on your PC).”, after which the Blu-ray disc promptly returns to main menu screen, with the main feature remaining inaccessible.

5) After creation of logfile, the AnyDVD HD "Status" window reported the following:

"Summary for drive E: (AnyDVD HD 8.0.2.0, BDPHash.bin 16-05-19)

Welcome to the world of screenpass protection. The opd will need an update. Likely the same with your other topic. Oh and you need to set your drive hardware region.

Hi Ch3vr0n,

"The opd will need an update. Likely the same with your other topic."

Yep,the OPD has already been updated for the other disc, which now appears to be working just fine.

"Oh and you need to set your drive hardware region"

Doesn't having AnyDVD HD running continuously in the background mean you don't need to bother with all that though?

 

[Ch3vr0n]

No, because with an unset drive region you're bound to encounter css protected dvd issues sooner or later. It's not a matter of IF but WHEN. When you go to set your drive region, make sure you EXIT anydvd completely! The tray icon may NOT be running.

Thank you, this one's fixed too now.

This is a perfect example of how a disc problem should be reported

"Thank you, this one's fixed too now."

That would be almost fixed, good sir!


1) OK, so the good news is that the 45m11s long "INTERVIEW WITH WRITER|DIRECTOR ESKIL VOGT" in "SPECIAL FEATURES" now appears to be working/playing correctly.

2) When I attempt to play the main movie feature by selecting the “PLAY FILM” option on the main menu, however, instead of loading/playing the main feature like it should, PowerDVD 15 Ultra actually loads the very same 45m11s long "INTERVIEW WITH WRITER|DIRECTOR ESKIL VOGT" as per "1)" above, with the main movie feature remaining inaccessible.

3) When I attempt to access the main movie feature by using the "SCENE SELECTION" option on the main menu, instead of jumping to the the relevant chapter point within the 1h35m58s main movie feature like it should, PowerDVD 15 Ultra actually jumps to the corresponding chapter point within the 45m11s long "INTERVIEW WITH WRITER|DIRECTOR ESKIL VOGT", with the main movie feature remaining inaccessible.


4) The AnyDVD HD "Status" window has been reporting the following since the OPD update:

This OP's issue sounds a lot like the issue I had with Penda's Fen https://forum.redfox.bz/threads/pendas-fen-uk-bfi-blu-ray-with-screen-pass.69716/ and although my issue seems to be fixed now for PowerDVD 16 playback of my mounted ISO, my Dune Solo 4K (which provides full menu playback of Blu-ray ISO) is still only playing the extra feature when I use the disc menu to select the movie.

Perhaps there's a common warped method in this new Screen Pass madness that some UK releases are using?

The last time I encountered a dvd was in 2005.

Sorry, try again now, two playlists got swapped.

No, it's a different scheme, not much in common there.
I'd attribute your case to the Dune player - problems with Dune are not unheard of, mildly put.

Aaaaaaand...Result!

I'm now able to play the main feature and all the special features on the Blu-ray disc using PowerDVD 15, and I assume also with PowerDVD 16 (when I upgrade), so thanks ever so muchly, Peer.
