You are probably right although it plays on my player just fine. Another drive needed then i assume?
Thanks for your input.

I have the Hitachi LG BP 55. Is this known to sometimes have this problem?

Makemkv keeps returning 'no disc'. Cleaning didn't work and i can't make out any scratches. Tried a different tile and it is fine.
Could this be a new type of encryption? Or perhaps i need to go through the rigmarole of returning it to fnac....
