I'm running into newer copy protections and the makers are just going to far and frankly they don't care. If your old DVDs are fine then this is likely the same issue I'm seeing. They deserve all the returns.

I received 2 DVD sets as a gift. watched the first one easily. The second one wouldn't play so it was replaced. The new one won't play.. My play is about 6 or 7 years old
