Bob McGovern says that a number of movies he purchased after buying his BD-P1200 wouldn't play on the device. The reason being is basically do to the
profile specs and Samsung not issuing a
firmware update to resolve the problems.
There are 3 different profile specs. You have 1.0, 1.1, and 2.0 profile specs. Because of
Sony's hurried efforts to arrive on the hardware scene at the same time as
HD-DVD released their players, the different profiles did not meet spec requirements.
Approving Profile 1.0, even though it limited the potential of the first players and ensured that they'd never be compatible with future profiles was a choice Samsung and
Blu-ray was willing to take.
