Watched Casino Royale last night. It was the 2006 version, not the original!
The good thing was that it played back without a glitch from beginning to end unlike the two LoveFilm rental discs. I am now convinced that the problem is with the way rental discs differ from retail discs so I have sent back the LoveFilm discs again.
The Casino Royale disc threw up another issue though. It features a BD Live feature which accesses stuff from the Internet. I connected the Internet but the disc told me that there was insufficient disc space to download the content. This bit I do not understand. For a start, what if my Blu-ray player were just a player and not a recorder? There would be no storage or disc space at all so how would there be any space for the download it wants to perform? My Blu-ray machine is a recorder and there is over 18 hours of free space left which is surely enough to download several full length feature films. I need to find out exactly what it wants to download and why it thinks there isn't enough space - maybe it wants an empty SD card in the slot - or a USB stick?
I'll just have to read the instructions if all else fails.
Update:
Read instructions, inserted SD card - it worked but it is rubbish. Took ages to download content and the content was just trailers which took even longer to download. Not impressed.
Looking on Amazon now for some bargain basement Blu-ray retail discs.
Update - best value offerings on Amazon:
Matrix Trilogy in a boxed set for £16.99 making each individual film about £5.70 each! I've only got one of the three on DVD so this seems a good buy.
Harry Potter films 1 - 6 for £32.99
Wallace and Gromit - Complete Collection - £9.93
