With HD movies being of recent introduction in market, they have proved to be really exciting and interesting to viewers. ‘The Departed’ has become the only film to top HD movie sales. Over 100,000 copies of ‘The Departed’ have been sold since its release in February of this year. Warner Home Entertainment proves to be the first studio to reach this benchmark.

Warner Home Entertainment currently supports both high-definition formats. Therefore the sales include both the Blu-ray edition and the HD DVD edition. High definition media has proved to be of great importance, even viewers prefer this format nowadays.

If you recently got Blu-ray discs of the first two Pirates of the Caribbean movies, then you might have probably come up with a messy screen rather than having pure HD quality. Currently there are two players namely, Samsung’s BD-P1200 and Sony’s BDP-S1—which are facing difficulties in playing back the first two Pirates of the Caribbean movies, the reason is obvious, its due to outdated BD java. The solution to this problem would be a firmware update which can certainly resolve this issue.

Recently, Samsung released a firmware update which can be found here, which fixes the problem.
