Mine won't play some DVDs any more - usually ones that are odd colours.  I
have to copy them onto DVD-Rs... :-/

I've copied a couple to the hard drive. Last night it wouldn't play
*anything* on a CD, yet it was happy with DVDs. The tray would close &
the
eject button flash, but then keep flashing (green only) with the CD drive
spinning up, but nothing playing. Eventually the drive timed out and
stopped.

to get happier. It was still a struggle to get it to recognise a pucka CD
though (Tracey Chapman - Fast Car, original disk from ages ago so no copy
protection issues).
