HP/Compaq :: Dv7thow's Bluray Playback
Apr 19, 2009With P7450 & 512MB ATI Mobility Radeon(TM) HD 4530.

Also since this is not a 1920p screen how will bluray look?

HP/Compaq :: Bluray Upgrade Is Free Two Days After Purchasing
Mar 9, 2009I bought an HDX16t on Saturday and got the default DVD drive w/out blu-ray support because the blu-ray was $50 more and I don't think I'd use it that much. With that said, I'd definitely like to have a blu-ray drive if it was free. So this morning I looked and the upgrade is now free.
It's probably unlikely, but would HP allow me to add the blu-ray drive to my order? Has anyone had success getting HP to do something like this? I placed the order on the 7th and it's estimated to be built by the 16th.
HP/Compaq ::HDX16t - Watching Bluray On External TV Via HDMI
Nov 10, 2009i have an HDX16t w/ bluray drive and i would usually watch blurays thru it. i would connect the laptop to my 42" 1080p LCD and watch. the first few times i did this, everything was fine. the sound and picture were going thru w/ no problems. i also just use the HP Media Center player when i watch so i can use the remote (which actually doesnt work great...not all the buttons work...but that's another story...)
now the other night, i went to put in another bluray and watch it using the HP Media Center but as it loaded the disc, i get a message saying that i "cannot play the movie in the current resolution". i was thinking this might be an HDCP issue but how can that be if it worked before? so i put in a bluray i had previously watched w/ this method and the same message popped up. i tried rebooting the laptop and also unplugging the TV to maybe "reset" the HDMI port. still got the same message when trying to play.

Dec 20, 2009I am having trouble playing bluray discs on my HDX18T. The result is the same whether I'm on Vista64 or Win7-64. I would put in a disc and it would launch the HP DVD player. When navigating through the disc menu, the entire computer would freeze at random spots and there's nothing I can do but hold the power button to brute-force a reboot.

HP/Compaq :: HP DV2-1027CA DVD Playback Sound
Jul 27, 2009I have a friend who brought the DV2-1027 (canadian version, maybe I make a mistake with the exact model number) with staples. When we start a movie from the external DVD, there's no sound that I can't hear but I hear sound on windows or on youtube for example.
Do you have an Idea about what it is ( tomorrow I will update the graphic card driver to verify if this is the problem, if not I don't know what will be the problem.
HP/Compaq :: HP & 1080P MKV File Playback
Mar 2, 2009I have an HP HDX 16T with a P8400 at 2.26GHz and 4GB ram.
The video is nVidia 9600M GT driver 7.15.11.7622 with 512 dedicated memory. The TV is a Sony 46" Bravia KDL46V2500 1080P LCD connected via HDMI.
I have an MKV file that is 1080P & 8.4GB in size that will not play correctly.
The video is choppy and the audio out of sync.
I downloaded the latest versions of the following players/codecs.
KM Player
BS Player
VLC Player
CoreAVC
SM Player
All of these exhibit the behavior, some not as bad but all have an issue playing the files. In fact it seems to be any 1080P file that gives me issues.
All of my 720P play fine with any of the players listed above.
Is my hardware not up to the task? I know HP offered a blueray drive as an option so surely this computer should be able to play 1080P....
HP/Compaq :: Hp 6730s- Video Playback
Sep 21, 2009i own 3 hp laptops, one is 6730s with low specification:
intel celeron 2G., 1G. ram, 160G. Hard, and intel graphics. few weeks ago i noticed some of my videos hang up and cause total crash. first it didn't concern me much, i though it is just software problem. but yesterday i tried to solve the problem; first thing i do is to reinstall media playback software, but the problem persist, i even tried different software without success. then i suspect driver problem, so i wen to hp site and downloaded latest intel graphic driver and again no luck. i decided to reinstall OS (Windows XP Professional SP3 clean install), everything went O.K. and i update many drivers including BIOS, then i installed media player and firstly it went well be after a while to problem arise again! the only way to get video playback normally is to go to advanced display setting and minimize hardware acceleration to disable 3D acceleration. what surprise me is games run O.K. at maximum hardware acceleration.

HP/Compaq :: 1080p HD Video Playback On A Presario CQ40-332TU
Dec 18, 2009I recently picked up a Compaq Presario CQ40-332TU - it's pretty much a bottom of the barrel bargain laptop, I know, but I was pleasantly surprised at how well it handled playback of 720p video, even output over HDMI to a 720p HDTV.
The relevant specs are as follows:
Intel T3400 (2.0GHz)
2 GB RAM
GMA 4500MHD
Running video through:
Quicktime 7.6.4
VLC 1.0.3
My question is, can this computer play 1080p video? My understanding of the integrated video card is that it SHOULD be able to handle 1080p playback quite smoothly. However, I can't ever seem to get it to run for more than 10 seconds at a time without dropping frames and getting video lag and severe ghosting / pixelization and artefacting. I'm currently running the RC1 of Windows7 (I'm waiting for the prices here in the Philippines to drop as they're a bit exorbitant)
HP/Compaq :: Choppy FULL Screen Video Playback (adobe Flasdh) DV4T
Feb 9, 2009problems with video playback on any site that uses flash as their means of delivering video content.
Some examples of sites are youtube, HULU, and abc.com
everytime i go into full screen mode the video becomes choppy, delayed and just unbearable to watch.
I have a geforce 9200m gs with 512 mb of vram running at 1920x1200, a core 2 duo 2.0ghz HP dv4t running vista x64 (though i had problems with both windows 7 beta and vista x86) and i have the latest nvidia drivers and downloaded the latest flash software.
I have also tried multiple browsers (IE, firefox, chorme) and also tried both enabled and disabled hardware acceleration in the flash setting..
HP/Compaq :: Grainy Video While Watching Video Playback
May 18, 2009an issue I have, regarding video playback. Whenever I watch a video file on my HP DV6T, the playback seems rather grainy.
The video playback seemed much more clearer of a picture on my dv5z, and I am wondering if it has to do with the resolution.
Could this be because of the 16" 1366x768 resolution?
All I want is to be able to watch my movies or video files FULL SCREEN, and in good video quality.
Dell :: XPS 16 (Bluray And Memory)...
Apr 10, 2010I have been hearing that the read/playback performance of the bluray drive on this laptop is terrible. Some say that it stutters all the way through an entire movie and it is very loud. Is this true? My second question is about the $375 charge for upgrading from 4GB RAM to 8GB RAM. Is it overpriced? Also, how easy is it to upgrade the RAM on the XPS 16?

Sony :: VGN-FW200Playing BluRay
Apr 13, 2010I went to play a movie, and it froze during the beginning previews. I once got it all the way to the title menu, but it froze when starting to play the movie. I had to eject the disc, because the entire program locked up. So I tried a different disc, same thing. I tried a DVD, and it worked just fine. :/
It never freezes in the same spot. Sometimes it freezes when its inbetween different preview or loading the menu.
I'm using Intervideo WinDvd BD for Vaio. (version 8, I believe). I tried finding an update driver on the sony support site, but it doesn't list it on my model's page.
Intervideo is now Corel apparently, and they only support version 9 and up.
I tried a system restore, because last week I was able to play a movie just fine, but there was no change.
I can't find much support for this kind of problem.
Computer specs.

Dell :: UJ-225b Bluray In M1710
Apr 11, 2008Was looking at Panasonic UJ-225B as a blu-ray writer drive for an upgrade of the DVD writer in my xps m1710. It is a slot loading drive and runs at x2 BD-R writing speeds.
Ridiculously expensive at the moment here in the UK (£325+VAT), so I have to be sure that it would fit/work OK in the Dell notebook before I shell out for it.
Has anyone got this drive fitted in the xps m1710?
