I bought the German Version of "The Omen" Parts 1-3.. All of them have the same problem. I get to the menu I click start and then I'll end up in the menu again.
With Part 1 I could trick them by selecting a random chapter and then just skipped back to the beginning. That didn't work with Parts 2&3.
I am hoping this will be rectified with the FW Update 1.9 when it'll finally be available (In Europe)

I also have the BD-P1400. It's a crappy BR player because it will stop the film wheb paused too long. No resume for BR supported it seems.
Never had it as bad as having a disc that wouldn't play though.

I don't own a BD-P1400 any longer (exchanged it for a Panny BD-30), but I thought I read that the "stop when paused" thing was fixed in one of the latest firmware upgrades...?

I think stopping when paused too long is a good thing. I have a Plasma and pausing too long on a fixed image can cause image burn-in. I would like them to fix the resume play after stop though.

On my player pressing "Popup Menu" when the disc goes into extended pause mode resumes the movie.  Your mileage may vary.

They can't fix that pausing problem because it's hardware related. At least that's what an Samsung representative told me.

Aside from that I am still pretty happy with my player. Especially since the 2.0 update

Yeah but two minutes. On HD-DVD Universal discs even had a screen saver that actived itself after a few minutes. They still have that option in menus on blu Ray's now but I don't know if that works during movies. i will check that out at work tomorrow and get back to you guys

Nope.. That pausing problem was not fixed after the latest FW update. Which came on Dec 19th.
As I said earlier, Samsung told me that's Hardware related.

It depends on the company that released the movie. Some movies allow you to go back to where you stopped while others start from the beginning.

As I just stated. The resume function does work with some discs. You can tell immediately if they player still displays the time where you stopped the movie. If that happens you can resume where you stopped

But as for the original Topic of this thread.. "The Omen" Trilogy now plays fine on the Samsung BD-P 1400.

I also implemented the new updates for the 1500 and 2500 to the players at work and now it works on those too.

The Omen Trilogy was the only movie I encountered so far that didn't playback on my machine.

So for now, I am gonna stick with the 1400.

When I have the money I will buy the Onkyo 606. (The BD Player not the Receiver by the same number)

Also buy the Onkyo receiver 606. It's a very decent receiver.
And the matching numbers will look awesome

I have the Onkyo TX SR 605.

As I said I meant the Onkyo DV BD 606 Blu Ray Player. It's about 430€ for me but it's still a great machine.
