Have you contacted the publishers of the DVD? If everything else works great and only that disc does not -- that tends to narrow it down a bit. Have you Googled for other having issues with that disc?

Amazon has stopped selling it but they don';t say exactly why:

Thanks so much for your reply.

After reading your reply I went to Amazon to see if it was still listed and if so to check out some of the customer reviews. I was able to find it and here is a quote from one of the reviews......

"I purchased the blu ray four times, would not work. I called my blu ray player company, OPPO and before I could finish the sentence he finished it for me..."the disc will not read." Apparently this is a major issue he stated and that if you own ANY blu ray player older than two years it will not play in it. Fox used some new technology which only is readable in new players, and Fox is aware of the issue. That being said, and being I was not planning on buying a new OPPO I am stuck with a DVD version. I have informed Amazon of what I was told and hopefully they will place a notice on this item"

So it does look like Fox thought they would do something 'DIFFERENT' and encode this movie different than how everyone else does it. So I think what I'm going to do at this point is just hold on to this disk, and maybe there will be some future update with NVIDIA drivers and PowerDVD that will allow us to watch the new Fox Blu-Ray format.

At least it isn't a total loss, I did get the digital copy with the Blu-Ray as well, and I did buy it used from the local video rental store. Yes, we still have one of those in my little town.

Again, thanks for your assistance.

I have the same problem with X-Men Days of the Future Past 3D. I had it before with the Star Wars Saga on blu-rays, another 20th Century Fox release.... An issue that Cyberlink fixed after several weeks of intense reverse engineering or discussion with Fox to get the new decoding algorithm.
Be sure that it won't get fixed in a short time.

The funny thing is sometimes a scene with big pixels would replay clean after a simple disc out of and back in the BD driver.

Well, I already reported the issue to Cyberlink official support on friday evening. Don't hesitate to do the same. The more we are to report the issue, the more pressure we put on Cyberlink to fix this ASAP.

Because of this, I migrated this Friday from v12 to v14 for nothing...

I'm having the same problem with the 2D version. It seems to start around halfway through the movie which is roughly when it switches layers I believe.

Playing on a PC with Radeon 7770 GFx card, 8GB RAM, Athlon A8-5600K CPU

Other blus work. Happens with Hardware and Software mode.

EDIT: For some reason it's working now...bizarre

Dust or dirt on the lens of the player? If it happens again, protect your eyes and use a slight amount of dry air to try to blow the dust off the inside of the player. Be careful, you don't want to cause a misalignment of the laser.

I'm not real big on CD/DVD cleaning discs; overuse might damage the lens. Use those only as a last resort. .

First, the blu-ray played until about 30 minutes in when Wolverine arrives at Xavier's mansion. Begins stuttering then crashes PowerDVD 14.

Restarting the player, spins up the disk, identifies the movie, the loading icon spins then stops. Cycling the tray, cleaning the disk and same thing happens. PowerDVD sits at it's home screen after attempting to load the disc.

Switch to classic mode and briefly see error message, "CyberLink PowerDVD unable to read a file on the disc." Then it returns to the PDVD home screen.

Rebooting doesn't help

Then, hours later it magically starts playing when I was loading a different movie for Windows Media Center.

Two days later, runs for 30 minutes then all the problems I described earlier.

I don't blame PowerDVD. PDVD 14 is one of the nicer iterations I've seen. Hate Friggin's Fox. I have no end of headaches with their shitty discs.

I've just tested the film in its 3D version with the latest version of Power DVD v14.0.4704.58.
And it got better, it's nearly watchable. It seems like they've found a solution to contain and cancel any pixel-block spreads from the frames triggering pixelisation. But it means there are still some frames with pixelisation. So it's still not perfect.
Moreover, at least 2 frames completely freeze the video rendering despite the sound goes on (at 55:33 and 1:01:40), but a simple time leap enables to jump over the freezing frames and go on with the film.

So, it proves that my request have been taken into account and they're working on it. I hope they'll find the definite solution by the next version

I don't understand how and why, but now everything is working...
I don't know what changed, I can only think of a patch that automatically came through Windows Update, which patched something in the OS... because I didn't update anything manually, not even my Nvidia graphic card driver...

Great ! Please change the title of this thread to indicate that is is solved (?). .
