What do you mean - you get the CD version on the DVDA?
As far as some players not running the Advanced Resolution, this is all firmware related, and possibly also because of the 16:9 aspect ratio, it seems. Why?
I have seen this on 3 different players:
Pioneer 578 - firmware update will sort this out though.
Oppo OPDV971H
Yamaha DVD S657
In all of these players, the exact same project compiled to a 4:3 disc will play perfectly.
Do not ask me why this is.
Thanks for your response Neil.
To clarify what I meant. If you look at the top of the Insurgentes discs #2 it says this:
1 - For DVD-Audio players only
Advanced Resolution 5.1 of Insurgentes (24/48 resolution)
Advanced Resolution stereo of Insurgentes (24/48 resolution)
2 - For DVD - Audio & DVD Video players
DTS 5.1 of Insurgentes
24 bit stereo LPCM
So I'm assuming they are referring to the Disc numbers when they say 1 and 2 right? But when I place Disc 1 into my Oppo DV-970HD, it immediately goes to CD and plays the disc as a normal CD, no menu nothing.
When I place Disc 2 in I get the menu which allows me to select Audio settings. In there if I choose Advanced Resolution 5.1 it will not start, freezes on the playlist screen.
When you say setting "compiled" to 4:3 do you mean switching the resolution in the Oppo's settings menu? If so I tried that and it did not do anything.
As a side note, when I load Disc 2 and the main menu fades in the fourth option is labelled as "Extras" and then switches to "Credits" when fully loaded. Is there Extras on this disc that these problems may be preventing me from seeing/ hearing?
I'm trying to narrow down whether this is an issue with my player of perhaps that I have a bad disc and need to exchange it.
Thanks for any suggestions....
