Layer Cake Defective DVD?'s
I have 2 copies of Layer Cake one from Amazon UK the other from CDnow. I didn't return the Amazon UK one because shipping would have been about almost more than I paid. So I ordered one from CDnow which came today. The same thing happens with each one. I press play it goes to the Columbia logo then to a warning about copying etc... then back the the menu. I have a Jaton PSD 7611K and in my computer DVD rom.
Anyone have this problem? Or it there a way around this??
Thanks

its probably your player as my cyberhome does the same thing with some Fox dvds where it gets stuck on the "these commentaries do not reflect.... blah blah" screen. Have you tried on another player or on a PC?

Ha, there was a thread some time ago about this title (I can't remember which forum).
The upshot is that the title is problematic with a number of players. Someone back then provided a link to a new form of copy protection that apparently was on the disc.
I have a Malata 996 and several hundred non-R1 discs. This is the only disc I haven't been able to play. Its a real shame, as the upcoming R1 looks like it might cram all the material from the UK 2-disc set onto one disc, which might produce some nasty side-effects.

Wow...
OK, I contacted Amazon UK and CDnow, they are going to replace the DVD's... they sent them out before I could test it on my kids DVD player. I got my kids a Phillips DVP642 and it works like a charm on there, only problem with that one is it has some issues with my widescreen TV.
Now what to do with the 3 extra copies??? If anyone is interested in a trade etc... let me know.

The same problem happened with my MALATA dvd player...I couldn't play the movie, even jumping to different scenes, it would still go to that warning page and then back to the menu...I was able to watch the Extras disc at least...
