I dunno if any of you know what might be going on here but I have a weird problem that only appears once in a while when I copy a DVD with my Mac.
Here's what I do:
Insert DVD to be copied.. let DVD Player load up and get the menu up. Quit DVD Player.
Run MacTheRipper and rip the DVD with de-macrovision and set the new region for the DVD to "all".
Run DVD2OneX and compress the whole thing to fit on a single layer disc.
Burn the disc with Toast.
Now, I have done a bunch of DVDs this way and not had any problems... except for a few. What happens is that I'll throw the newly created DVD in my PowerBook and DVD Player loads up and the movie plays just fine.. but when I throw it in my DVD player, it loads up the menu just fine but when I go to actually play the movie, the dvd player plays the first second of the first chapter and then skips to the next chapter, plays the first second and then skips to the next chapter.. and on and on until the last chapter. It's just bizarre. Any thoughts? I'm wondering if this isn't some sort of copy protection or something. I've run into the problem only on maybe 3 movies out of 40 or so. Haven't tried playing the DVD on any other players.
