Issues with BD Menus in MC31-MC33 (primarily with Paramount 4K UHD releases)

(1/5) > >>

Manni:
I use BD Menus for BD and UHD blurays (all my titles are ripped 1:1 from the original disks to BD folders) and until MC29 most of my titles played menus fine, with the very occasional hickup.

With MC31 (including latest build 43), I'm getting "frozen" menus on an empty screen, especially with recent Paramount titles (so it might have to do more with this than with the MC version). If I right click and switch to title, the main title plays, but of course that defeats the point of using menus.

Some examples:

Deep Impact (4K UHD Bluray UK): plays the Paramount intro then stuck on blue screen. Right Click Menu does nothing.
The Truman Show (4K UHD Bluray UK): plays the Paramount intro then stuck on blue screen. Right Click Menu does nothing.
The Italian Job (2003) (4K UHD Bluray UK): plays the Paramount intro then stuck on blue screen. Right Click Menu does nothing.
Double Jeopardy (4K UHD Bluray UK): plays the Paramount intro then stuck on blue screen. Right Click Menu does nothing.

Not all recent Paramount releases have this issue, for example the menu of Scream VI plays fine.

All these titles play the menu fine with both my Oppo 203 and my Dune Pro Vision Solo 4K, so not a bad rip issue. However, these Paramount titles display a series of warnings in various languages about equipment with the Oppo or the Dune. I have to press the menu button on the remote to get to the menu.

Happy to provide a copy of the structure of the blurays (without the main movie content) if you don't have them and would like to try to reproduce the issue. Please provide a way to do this privately if needed.

Manni:
Two more examples:

48 Hours (4K UHD Bluray UK): plays the Paramount intro then stuck on language choice blue screen. Right Click Menu does nothing.
Another 48 Hours (4K UHD Bluray UK): plays the Paramount intro then stuck on language choice blue screen. Right Click Menu does nothing.
Part of the language menu is visible on these, it looks like the attached screenshot.

Are you using AnyDVD?  Or?

I use various tools depending on which one supports each title.

It's irrelevant anyway, given that all these rips play fine with two different players (Oppo and Dune), as reported. It's clearly a JRiver issue with recent Paramount 4K UHD Bluray titles.

Added Double Jeopardy to list in the first post.

JimH:
Let's keep an open mind until we find out the cause.

You've probably considered antivirus and ruled that out.
