This problem is both confusing and frustrating, and I am in the process of talking to Sony, via emails about the issue.Exact Audio Copy V1.0 beta 3 from 29. I'm currently playing Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows: Part 2 in 3D and it is working (although it took a couple of tries). I assumed that the problem must've been dust and everything was fine now (how wrong I was) I put the blank disc back in hoping to write my blu-ray as originally intended, but again, the computer acted as if nothing happened, I tried Valkyrie again, and it worked, I also tried Terminator Salvation, and the recent A-Team movie, all of which worked fine, but more recent movies such as Star Trek: Into Darkness, In Time and Battleship will not work. I'm currently also experiancing this issue, It started when I wanted to write a Blu-Ray disc, I inserted a blank disc, and as you say, the computer acted as nothing was in the drive, I tried some recent Blu-Ray movies, same problem, eventually I tried a slightly older movie, "Valkyrie" to be exact, at first it did not recognise this either, and I decided perhaps dust was the issue, so I blew into the drive as hard as I could, and to my surprise, Valkyrie was now playing.

UPDATE: I tried another Blu Ray movie disc, the driver did not recognize it as well.

I've read something about updating the firmware, so, I've tried to update the drive from the device manager, from the Pioneer company website (no such BluRay in there), from Sony web site (no drive as well), and the Internet in general, but no luck. I checked the region -just incase it changed, and it is region 2 (Europe). I used to use PowerDVD to play the Avatar disc. It plays most DVDs normally (it can't recognize some DVD movies (EPIC MOVIE to be more specific), I get the same message to insert a disc). The drive is Blu-Ray reader/writer Pioneer BD-RW BDR-TD03 Now when I put the disc in the drive I get a message to insert a disc. I have an Avatar Blu Ray disc that I've watched before on my VAIO several times.
