Hi. It seems that you might have an old version of the PS2.
The original PS2's had a problem with the laser that read CDs and DVDs, often failing, creating problems with reading DVDs and in rare cases, CDs.
Unfortunately, the class action lawsuit filed against Sony is too old to get yours fixed for free, but there are ways to attempt to fix the laser yourself, if you would rather not send it in to Sony.
yes this is normal hackers are learning how to build programs that can copy movies so they are trying to come up with new ways to fix this issue by doing so they have created a new standard that hackers will learn and use
Once in awhile, the keys just expire. To renew it, go to SYSTEM UPDATE in your PS3s xmb.. 2nd tab over top option..click it and it will ask you to select a method. Update via internet. Go through this you should be good to go.they usually expire after 12-18 mos. Heres a link to the manual.. http://manuals.playstation.net/document/en/ps3/current/video/aacs.html
PS3 has a AACS (Advanced Access Control System) is a
copyright-protection technology that is used on Blu-ray Discs. The
copyrighted content is protected by setting an encryption key on both
the disc and the device used to play the disc.
An AACS
encryption key expires in 12 to 18 months and must be renewed, so no
matter if you have a new PS3 or using it already make sure you keep
upgrading your PS3 firmware regularly.
There are two ways to update as listed below:
* Update via Internet * Update via Storage Media
Download the update data directly to the system from the Internet. The latest update is automatically downloaded.
Select
Settings -> System Update, Download the latest update data from the
Internet. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the operation.
You
also perform this system update via a storage media, Use update data
saved on a disc, Memory Stick™ or other media. Download the update data
from a Web site using a PC

This is a common problem on the PS3 unfortunately and is caused by a faulty blue-ray drive. Unit will have to go back to Sony for service.
You should try a DVD cleaning disk first to be sure that dirt on the laser lense is not causing the issue.
You can also open the case and clean the laser lense with a Q Tip and an alcohol cleaning solution.
If you plan on opening the case at any stage please ensure the unit is disconnected from its power supply.
If this fails and you are confident with electronics there are several videos on YouTube showing how to replace the drive if you choose to order it and do it yourself.
See an example below.
Hope this helps. Please remember to rate my answer. Many Thanks
The issue is that not all videos use DTS. Look at the videos that you are trying to play do they support DTS if so make sure that you are selecting the DTS track in the audio setup.
In regards to your receiver if it does not support Dolby Digital then you might want to look at upgrading to a receiver that supports Dolby Digital and DTS if you want true surround on all your videos.
Let me know if you have any more problems or questions
There are some firmwares that support playing movies on the game, if the files are not complete, then the ps3 will not be able to play any movie, and some times it might affect game discs as well.
So when next your playstation 3 wants to system update, allow it, so it will automatically restore the files that are necessary to play a blue ray disc.
Systems update is done online, so you must have an internet connection either wireless or by connection for the playstation, and if it pops up the system update message next time, allow it. It will install new firmwares for the playstation 3 and you will be able to enjoy better services on the game.

Put film on pause, exit, watch another film for 20 minutes. Return, watch film until message comes up again, pause, exit go back to other film for another 20 minutes. Etc. Eventually you will see the whole film after 4-5 shifts. Otherwise, shun Sony.
Actucally, there are a few ways to bypass Cinavia, but no program can remove Cinavia. If your video is a homemade movie or other personal recording, to play your recording without muting you may either:
· Pause the video, wait 30 seconds for the audio to be un-muted, then skip over those portions where the professionally produced material is used and continue playing the rest of the video, or
· Pause the video, wait 30 seconds for the audio to be un-muted, then play video from a different optical disc for at least 10 minutes before continuing playback of this video.
You'll need to change your region settings.. This can only usually be done 5 times though so don't make a habit of it. If your only using Aus dvds then it won't be an issue.
