Oddly enough, my Pioneer Elite BDP-HD1 will play For Your Eyes Only, which has been confirmed to have an authoring issue, but it wouldn't play From Russia with Love until I read of an ingenious work-around on AVS.
If, instead of pressing the Initiate Mission button to begin the movie, you go into the Mission Selection section and choose a chapter, you may be able to play the feature when you were previously unable to do so. This worked for me with FRWL.
It is ridiculous that we are required to do any of this, I admit, but it might get some of us going in the meantime while we're waiting for Fox and hardware manufactures to 'do the right thing', which is issues replacements for erroneously authored discs and firmware updates for problematic players.
BTW, doesn't it always seem like there are more goof ups during Q4? Last year it was the Harry Potter disc mix-up and Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines 1080i snafu. This year we already have problems with the Matrix Reloaded and the James Bond movies. It certainly does seem like the Blu-ray Disc infrastructure is being stressed around this time of year.
