PS3 not playing DVD over HDMI

So, I got Iron Man today, break it out. Won't play on the PS3 over the HDMI. Same with Disc 2. Same with every DVD I own.
I have no idea why it's not working. I get a flickery screen, see a glimpse of the 'play' in the bottom left hand corner of the screen before cutting to my TV's "No Signal" display.
Help?

wow, that's ghetto.
Bull. My PS3 and TV play perfectly well at 1080p.
I'm betting your TV isn't doing the HDCP handshake properly. Make/model?

Yeah, apparently it's the "Dual DLCD 1905".
I think it might just be the PS3 though - when a DVD is played, it then refuses to go back to working, as in, it will not shut down, and even if the DVD is ejected (which I think sends it straight back to the XMB), the TV won't pick up the signal again.
I seriously doubt that TV can do 1080p natively, being a cheapo 19" - but it's probably improper support for or total lack of HDCP, which the PS3 wants for upscaling DVDs over a digital connection, if I recall correctly.

Thanks anyway for your help however. Guess I'll have to play the DVDs on the 360, which is horribly louder.
Accepting 1080p and having a native resolution of 1080p are two very different things.
Try knocking it down to 720p, or see if you can disable the upscaling on the DVD player.

My PS3 did that to me with a cheaper LCD TV, it failed the hdcp handshake. But when I could hit the input/source button on the remote to cycle through all the video input and land back on the PS3 one, it would display a screen.
I'm going to echo the comments that your TV doesn't have a native resolution os 1080p, therefore you shouldn't use it. It will accept the signal, same with 1080i, but it scales everything to 720p like my set, and most smaller sets. It's best to use 720p for everything on that TV.
Just a note, for people with screens that fail HDCP for whatever reason. You should look into the HDfury.
The only resolution it will accept is 720p. It's not disastrous as I have like four different devices that'll play DVDs, but I'd like to get it sorted if possible.

Your monitor is probably 1440x900 or something like that, right? You're doing a component-to-VGA transcode, and I'm betting that your transcoder is only speaking the HDTV standards (720p/1080i/1080p) - it won't do anything outside them.
Aside: PS3 won't upscale DVD's over component - it'll output at a higher resolution but won't upscale.

Wait, it only accepted 1080i, but it had a native resolution of 720p? Or do you just mean it wouldn't accept 1080p signals, only 1080i and 720p? Because the former sounds... odd.
It would accept up to 1080i signals and downscale them to 720p. My set is 1080i native as well as my other uncles HD set up. So I had the PS3 manually set to output 1080i and it was messing up. I ran the set up wizard 720p was selected and everything went fine after that.
This is actually a problem with budget HD TVs, especially the Chinese knock offs.
