Face on Fi
Im looking to buy a Blu-Ray player and some of the reviews complain about software updates. How hard is that to do? Is it worth the extra $50-$100 to get one that is already updated?
Answer
Manufacturers often create firmware updates to fix bugs or add new features, so even if you buy a player with the current firmware, it could be out of date in a few weeks and need a firmware update.
If the player is connected to the internet, then it will tell you when a new firmware update is available and ask you if you want to install it. If you tell it to install the firmware update, it does it automatically - just be sure not to use the player or press any buttons while the update is taking place - in other words, leave it completely alone or it could crash. If it's not connected to the internet, then the manufacturer will have instructions in the manual about how to get the updates - typically you download them to your computer from the manufacturers website, then save the update on a flash drive, then insert the flash drive into the blu-ray player and let it do the update.

What is the best Blu-ray player software to use?

I have a built in Blu-ray player that came with my HP, with Vista. Now I have Windows 7 and today was the first day I have gone to use the Blu-ray player in a bit. I went to watch the new version of Fight Club and it has turned into a no go. What do I do? I've heard I would need software to play it and a bunch of other junk. What's the truth?
Answer
Software should have been included with the drive, or if it was pre-installed, with your computer. It is probably your best solution. Check the manufacturer website. It may have a download. You shouldn't have to buy anything.
