Quoted from my post on TechGuyForums
I rented 3 Blu-Ray's today thinking that my Sony VAIO FZ38M would play them, and via HDMI output on the Laptop, watch them on my Samsung HD TV. But, I was wrong. I put The Dark Knight into the tray and after whirring for about a minute I got the usual Warner Bros, which seemed a bit jumpy, but I ignored it, the film started and by god I was/am appauled. The framerate is terrible, especially for 'amazing quality picture'. So then I thought that I'l hook it up to the TV and see what I get, and plugged my HDMI (the one from the Xbox 360 Elite package) cable into the Laptop, hit play and recieved this message: "Your display enviroment does not support protected content playback." My display enviroment? What watching a film in Blu-Ray using the laptops features. So I'm supposed to pay for everything (£850 for the Laptop) and get nothing whereas (without sounding like a jerk) getting some low-end brand laptop and illegally downloading the film and actually to viewally getting to view the film.
Sony will recieve an email about this because I refuse to buy a Blu-Ray disc player to "watch movies on" and then not be able to.
James.
PS. Any help would be appreciated
