I do apologize in advance if anyone feels my post is taking this thread off topic.

"joshc", you indicated that the problem has happened to you with a few other DVDs. can you let us know if all the errors occured on Sony and/or Columbia studio movies?

Also, has anyone tried the disc just in the Sony changer so as to isolate if the problem was on Sony or Escient?

I'm just trying to determine if the Sony changer is having problems with Sony's own use of their ARCCOS type encryption as Casino Royale DVD is from Sony. This is the type of encryption where the movie studio (Sony & affiliates) intentionally places a bad sector or direction in the DVD's .IFO file. In general, a hardware DVD player, set-top box will just ignore the bad sector or direction and continue, but a software based player (PC type) keeps looking and looking until an error occurs, usually with the "cyclic reduncancy check" error.

TIA,
