BluFocus is Certified by the Blu-ray Disc Association

Have you ever stuck a brand new title into your Blu-ray player and instead of movie watching bliss; you’re thrust into the darkened hell of system-menus and firmware-updates? Welcome to the ugly world of Blu-ray incompatibility. A company called BluFocus has just achieved recognition from the Blu-ray Disc Association as a Blu-ray Movie Play Verification and Testing Center. Hooray! 

BluFocus says it’s the first advanced testing and advisory service that specializes in Blu-ray disc media. The company offers tools and services to content providers and manufacturers alike that want to go Blu while ensuring a positive, hassle-free customer experience. And we customers of media appreciate you guys getting your stuff to work nice together. 

Since working with the Blu-ray format since 2007, BluFocus has also expanded into THX Certification testing, compatibility and verification.

You know your tech-formats have gotten seriously technical when you need a third party to audit compatibility. Remember the not-so good old days when all it took was a needle on the end of a hollowed-out horn to playback the latest in analogue media? Neither do I! But my guess is Thomas Edison didn’t need a focus group to ensure compatibility between phonograph players and media. 

Are you having problems with a particular movie on a particular model of Blu-ray player? I’m sure we’ve all been there. My nightmare scenario involved bringing home a new BD player and a copy of 3:10 to Yuma. Needless to say I took the 3:20 back to the retailer and got another player. 

These days you have somewhere to turn. Let BluFocus know of any recent compatibility issues.
