Since it did play on my other DVD player it would seem that the only errors are intentional. Try Googling Sony+drm - they have form for this type of nonsense.

- trotsky 16y agoIt definitely happens that one dvd player will be better at playing scratched or defective content than another - just like happens with CD players. And I'm certainly aware of the sony "rootkit" computer drm they put on a few audio discs some time ago... But that was on a cd data track and had nothing to do with an audio cd player pushing audio out. I'm not asking if they would be willing to add new DRM to a DVD - obviously the answer to that question is yes. I'm just asking how you know that is what's going on, or if it's even possible to do. Can play in player A but not in player B so it must be new DRM is pretty thin.
- cpswan 16y agoThe disc is physically perfect - no scratches. Sony use an additional DRM system called ARccOS on their DVDs. ARccOS keeps changing, so my assessment is that this latest version is another stinker - it's happened before.
- cpswan 16y agoIt seems that ARccOS has evolved into 'structural protection' - http://forum.slysoft.com/showthread.php?t=23291 http://forum.slysoft.com/showthread.php?t=23291
