Striped issue on Public Enemies Blu-ray

[admin_exported]

Watched this movie last night, and was slightly underwhelmed, not only with the movie itself, but also with the blu-ray conversion.

1stly the sound was terrible, with some of the dialogue being almost inaudible, forcing you to turn up the volume, resulting in a near -ear shattering experience during the gun fights. I rectified it by turning up the centre channel, but not ideal.

I think this problem, is well known for this movie, but what I couldn't find on my various searches was any evidence of what I experienced with the picture.

In some of the darker/greyer scenes there was a distinct fixed striping across the screen.

Ive just got a new setup, (B&W Mt-30 with Sony STR-DA2400es and an older Sony BDP-S350 Blu-ray player) and was hoping it wasnt anything to do with my set up and was the actual movie at fault?

I haven't had chance to watch anything else yet, so don't know if it occurs on any other discs. Any idea what could be causing this effect and if I should be worried about my new set-up?

Have you run the speaker level calibration on the amp yet?

I also have the same problem with the Public Enemies blu ray, the sound is terrible so i don't think its anything to do with your system. I didn't get the stripped effect though and i though the picture quality overall was really good.

Yep, ran it a few times. Keeps telling me my front left speaker is large though, and have to re-set it to small. perhaps it is because its next to the subwoofer?

Anyway it wasnt the sound I was too worried about, as it seems it is a well documented problem with this movie in particular, its the stripes that worry me.

Going to try watching UP on Blu-ray later and see what happens.

I had a few problems with the picture on this Blu Ray. During the night shootout at the lodge I experienced a quite noticeable striping effect. Glad to find out it's a software rather than a hardware problem!
