For those following this thread as they are seeing a similar problem I cant give you a simple solution, but have at least fixed it..
I spent many happy days back and forth with the support chaps at Cyberlink and they provided my a couple of new releases however none actually resolved the problem.
In the end I ripped the video cards out of my other media PC's and did more testing myself..
Firstly I installed a Radeon 2400HD, this worked fine and played Blu-Ray through PDVD just fine without any driver changes, however the PC seemed very unstable with the card and had a tendency to blue screen, so then I swapped it for a NVIDA 7300. Once the latest drivers were installed this worked just fine also and plays Blu-ray through ADVD 7.3 perfectly and with this card the PC also now seems to be perfectly stable so will be leaving this card in place and popping the original ATI 1600 card into another of my media PC's without a Blu-ray drive (For reference it plays HD quite happily from the HDD)..

Hi Massimo, thanks for the suggestion, unfortunately it doesnt seem to be that easy to fix..
I actually rebuilt the machine from the ground up just in case and downloaded the complete drivers package again so now running with the following:
Driver Packaging Version 8.552-081028a-070229C-ATI
Catalyst® Version 08.11
Provider ATI Technologies Inc.
2D Driver Version 7.01.01.838
2D Driver File Path /REGISTRY/MACHINE/SYSTEM/ControlSet001/Control/Class/{4D36E968-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}/0000
Direct3D Version 7.14.10.0621
OpenGL Version 6.14.10.8201
Catalyst® Control Center Version 2008.1028.2134.36851
As far as I can tell these are the latest and greatest from Radeon so I believe Im fully up to date, also checked Direct X and thats fully patched and up to date, but Blu-ray still refuses to play...

I purchased a LG 0DD GGW-H20L which came bundled with PowwerDVD 7 Ultra, however once installed the first time I run the software and try and play a Blu-ray disc, It tells me to install updates which it then takes me off to the Cyberlink website and the download and install completes correctly.
When I then try to play Blu-Ray discs the menus appear and function ok, but no video is displayed.
Looking on the support site, I see that there is a patch for this specific LG drive, however when I try to install it tells me I already have an existing product installed and I must uninstall that first, if I then unistall PowerDVD and try the patch again it tells me I must have PowerDVD 7.3 installed first!
Hardware Details:
DVD Player LG ODD Model GGW-H20L -rev. YL05 Firmware 8.01.0919.01
Vista Home Premium 32 bit.
ATI Radeon 1600 - Video
2.8Ghz Pentium 4 with 4Gb ram.
Cyberlink PowerDVD Ultra Rev 7, provided on CD in box, on first run upgrades to 7.3 ultra by dowloading an 83Mb update from your servers file ID 4.0.100.1900
Trying to install update LG.ODD.4407_HLDS_DVD080919-02 fails.
Blu-ray discs tested: Oceans 13 and I am legend - same symptoms on both discs.
Any thoughts/suggestions/comments greatly appreciated..
