[MPlayer-users] Wolfman Blu-ray

[Alexander Roalter]

Thanks to a recent development, I now have a Volume Unique Key for the 
BD of the Remake of the Wolfman (European Edition, sold in the UK, 
Germany, Italy, France, ...)

This BD has two versions of the film, one running 118min, one 102 
minutes. The longer version (so-called 'extended' edition) features the 
Universal logo of the 1930s, instead of the new Universal logo in use 
since 1997, but:

While I can play title 88 (the 102 minute version) without problem, 
playing title 87 (the 118 minute version) has correct audio, but the 
image remains black and is 720x480 instead of 1920x1080.

Perhaps I should try a different decoder? Which
