I'd also like to hear if anyone tried and had or didn't have this problem with v1 or v2. I believe I raised the bitrate very slightly this time around, but still low enough to easily fit onto a BD25 with room to spare.

If indeed that's what's causing this problem, all versions must have been straddling this very fine line. I doubt it, though.

If that's the case though then wouldn't the retail Star Wars Collection blu-rays also not play properly, or are your files at a higher bitrate than those? The official set plays fine on my player - I just don't want to see those ;)
