Inserting Blu-ray Disks May Freeze Windows 7

[citation][nom]ossie[/nom]you should be reminded that a phrase is "a sequence of two or more words arranged in a grammatical construction and acting as a unit in a sentence[/citation]
Well, strictly speaking "wintarded, micro$uxx and fankiddie" aren't words either because you made them up.

So what does this fix break, then?

This is the 2nd hotfix in a few weeks they have done like this...you have to directly contact them to get it...wonder why they don't just release the hotfix via updates? Unless they are wanting to gather hardware info from the people having the problems so they can better pinpoint the problem which would make sense.

[citation][nom]retard_by_demand[/nom]It is quite perverse how long some standalone BluRay players take to seek the disc. Some take over 30 seconds or even longer. It would be interesting to compare seek times for PC BluRay drives on Windows and standalones. If the PC one seeks faster I will happily not buy a standalone one at all and just buy a long HDMI cable to run movies directly from the PC to the big-ass TV.[/citation]
Seek time is a completely different drive parameter than disc loading time. But as an IT expert (which you pretend to be), you should already know this...

Actually a construction like "wintarded micro$uxx fankiddie" is called a syntagma. I leave you the pleasure to search the meaning - maybe it'll improve a bit your knowledge, and even grammar skills.

I should be flattered with your praise of making up not one, but three new words, but I'll have to humbly disappoint you.

More argumentum ad hominem in petto? Impressive...

Complex much? Ossie you are the man. Hope it works out IRL.

I just got an HP s5116f entertainment center and some Blu rays play fine and others like District 9 and Gamer freeze upright away. It's Vista and has a wi fi conection. Santana's Live at Montreaux plays fine. What might be the cause? BD Live maybe? KaBooM

Meh this will be fixed before bluray writers are prevalent. Although I with the drop in hdd, flash memory and htpc's I think disk drives might have a limited lifespan.

Stick it to Sony, MS is having a child like tantrum and is taking it out on the consumer for Blue Ray beating their Crapbox 360 backed HD DVD.

[citation][nom]kelemvor4[/nom]I don't have this problem on my w7 system. I burned several bd-r disks recently for a backup, and popped one in just now to test.[/citation]
Why would you spend so much to use (slow) Blue Ray for backup when external Hard Drives are cheap and much faster?

I'm just here to suck ossie's dick.

"Softpedia said that Microsoft updated Udfs.sys during the first half of December 2009 for both Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2. Microsoft deployed the update in order to resolve issues relating to the driver in Windows 7. Now the update is causing some Windows 7 PCs to freeze when customers insert a recordable Blu-ray disc into the BD-R drive.


Windows 7 users who are experiencing this problem should contact Microsoft directly"

Huh???? WHY?!?!?!? Is this a case of break it just to find out who has a BR recorder/player and is using burned disks??? I think I'll hold off on a new BD burner/drive until they fix things the proper way.

As far as the MPAA and BD Association is concerned, I've heard they mandate updates every so often for new "keys" as a way to cut back on piracy... not a very effective way to do it, and a waste of everybody's resources and money whether it is for that actual reason or not.
