This is indeed a combination of all of the above at fault.
As stated Sony has instituted a new form of protection
on their DVD's. The 777 will play the Casino Royale just
fine by itself, and even with the Escient connected.
However, it will hang when the Escient try's to query
the disc on first load, because the TOC request will fail
due to this new Sony Disc format. I find it somewhat amusing
that Sony Changers fail to read Sony discs :) Also as
stated above, the recommended work around for this is
to load Disc 2, (or any other readable disc) just to fill
the slot so the Escient doesnt think its empty, then swap
it out for the correct movie and manually edit the information
to contain the correct data.
This is also what Escient will recommend you do if you
call their tech support.

Thanks for the tip. I tried this with my Elan VIA!dvdj and it doesn't quite like this work around! If I put in a disk that's readable, catalog it then put in one of the newer disks that won't catalog, it keeps a link between the two disks and I can't separate the names. This might sound confusing but it goes like this:
Put Flushed Away into a blank slot (it was already recognized a few weeks ago)
Catalog it and the system sees a disk
Take Flushed Away out and put it back into it's original slot
Put Stranger Than Fiction in the slot I started with
Go to the software interface and see that I now have 2 Flushed Away's
Edit the Title and upload the correct cover art and they BOTH change
Really annoying - if I pick the correct Flushed Away in the list, it will PLAY Stranger Than Fiction but I can't change and make the names unique.
Sigh......
