I might be posting a bit early here (seeing is the film aint officially out until Monday) but I`ve got Layer Cake on DVD, and it won`t play on one of my DVD players (which just happens to be the only one with surround sound!!). The second disc is fine, it`s just the first disc with the film on it!! It works on my old Grundig and the REALLY old Matsui I bought my parents for xmas years ago, but it won`t work on my SHARP SD-AT50, it`s a DVD & Surround combo, but you CAN you use the surround seperate with another dvd player, so I have managed to watch the film, but I don`t want to keep borrowing my old one from my mum or buy a new one.
I`m wondering if it`s just maybe a slightly bad disc, I got it from play.com but I`ll take it to a shop on Tuesday for a replacement and see if that makes any difference, I`m just wondering if anyone else has any problems with this disc?

It might just be an incompatibility between the disc and your player. I`ve just watched the check disc I was sent and it played fine all the way throguh on a Pioneer deck.

Hmmm, I wonder if they`ve attempted to use some new-fangled copy protection that`s f***ed it...

My copy I think he means original DVD, alot of people refer to the original as copy, at least I do.

Well technically I guess it is. They`re all copied from somewhere.

Update, just for you guys to know. The original copy I had was from play.com, I swapped it this afternoon for another copy at my local Silverscreen in Swansea. Just got in, exact same problem! heh, I`ve been looking for an excuse to by a separate DVD player to go with the surround anyway (as the sharp is not region hackable, as if that wasn`t enough of an excuse!) I think I`ll go for the Ronin on play.com as it`s only £29.99, any good? (for the price that is) Later on in the year (when I have money) I`ll go for something better.
