I was playing back the Blu-ray of The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, and I was having problems with color bands across the entire screen (the movie is apparently 21:9, and only fills part of a 16:9 screen, yet the color bands were extending across my entire screen) as if there was some sort of video compression problems that affected the entire video signal.
In addition, when I tried to back up by 15 seconds, the video froze while the audio kept playing. I was then unable to close MePo, I went to the task manager, and it listed MePo as "not responding" so I killed it. I restarted MePo, went back to the Blu-ray and tried to skip to the chapter that is closest to where I was. The same thing happened in that there were color bands across the entire screen, the audio kept playing, but the video froze, MePo froze, and then I had to kill it.
I then started the debug version of MePo, and simlarly to the thread I posted about The Day of the Doctor, the Blu-ray played properly. Gone was the color banding, and I was able to navigate anywhere within by jumping in time, or by using chapter navigation.
I am attaching log files from the session where I watched the movie in debug mode, and I am also attaching the complete set of log files that I exported using the export all current log files option (I don't know that they are different - I assume they are the same, but just in case they are not, I am attaching both).
It seems that there are Blu-ray disks that only play properly when MePo is running in debug mode, and that this may be a viable work-around when a Blu-ray disk does not play properly in non-debug mode MePo.
Please note that I am using AnyDVDHD 7.5.2.
Thanks.
