blu/ray not playing certain discs

Hi guys,
I 'm really not into movies all that much but since I have the player I do use it on occassion.First off I bought the thing as an open box at BB w/ remote and made them play it to make sure it worked and it does.At home I play store bought blu/rays and reg dvds w/ no problem.Now the rub,my bro in law somehow burns first run movies on discs and they do work on my computer but not the player itself. So now I have about 15 movies doing nothing but gathering dust.I tried to call Tosiba c/s but there seems to be no human who works there.One other thing because it was an open box I got no instuction manual or cut sheet of any kind. I've read the reviews on this product and they are terrible but when it works it's fine for me and I do not use an i-net source. So is there any setting that I'm missing that would play these burned dvds on this player?

He might be burning them in a format the Player does not recognize. It may be that simple.

Do you have a regular DVD player? Maybe try it in that to know for sure.

What is the Exact model number of your Blu-ray player? I can't find any info at Toshiba for the model in your signature.

Might be some sort of privacy protection too built into the player itself.

Joe,I gave your idea a whirl and vialla it works on my Denon 1940 ci regular cdp/dvd.I tried only 1 movie so far but it worked and the movie itself sucked.Tinker Tailor Spy did not work for me at all. Now though I have many others and hopefully they should work as well.What I did notice was a much longer load time and this countdown then the movie.Thanks for the tip.
