Used DVD Decrypter to rip a purchased copy of The Matrix. Certain high-motion
scenes cause a 'glitch' or 'deja vu', where the image blocks up and the player
backs up 1 or 2 seconds.

Has anyone seen this? Is this likely a problem with the decryption, or a
problem with the video renderer? (happens with PowerDVD and with Media Player
-- GSpot suggests that Media Player is using the CyberLink codecs; therefore
I'm guessing there's a problem with the codecs, but I don't understand why.
The encrypted version plays fine.)

thanks

A little more on this. The glitchy rip was with DVD Decrypter in ISO mode.
File mode is even worse.

Same with SmartRipper's File mode.

DVD Decrypter's IFO mode and SmartRipper's Movie mode give glitch-free results.
But they don't give me the VIDEO_TS.IFO file that I seem to need to be able to
import the video into TMPGEnc 3.0 XPress.

I'm drawing a blank on this part -- I can't figure out how to get this movie
into TMPGEnc without the VIDEO_TS.IFO file. There must be a straightforward
way....right? :)

For all the trouble you are going through to rip this DVD wouldn't it be
more simple to just buy a copy? Think about it. If you added up all the time
you have spent both on your system and here begging for help then paid
yourself a small hourly fee of $5.00USD that's the cost of the DVD plus and
ice cream cone or two. But, you're probably doing this to make money off the
original by selling the copies anyway, so your time doesn't really matter
does it. Hey, I know a monkey that will work for all the banana's you can
give him....sort of the same price you place on your own time don't you
think?

The value of an effort is not can not always in assessed in terms of
dollars and cents. What about curiosity, or the confidence increase
one gets from solving a problem? If you can't solve the problem, plug
into the System of Knowledge which is what I think Mr. Redmondman is
doing.

I wouldn't want to solve his problem, nor do I have the opinion that anyone
else should either. Assisting this person is assisting a greater amount of
person's who only want to make a fast buck off the hard work and creativity
of the others, more than they are interested in the "confidence increase of
having solved some problem" such as this one. Therefore I shall not heed
your invitation to "plug into the System of Knowledge" as you call it
because it is trivial, merit whatsoever and hardly worth labeling as
"knowledge".

Most likely there is some embedded structure within the original causing the
problem he is having, and if that is the case I applaud those who originally
created the disc for having constructed such a noteworthy problem to waste
the man's time. Creating something to hinder people from making copies of
copyrighted material to the point that it mentally frustrates to great ends,
while also wasting their time in countless hours and days, now that's
something truly "plugged into the System of Knowledge"!!

I appreciate the responses. I thought I'd seen other people get help on
fair-use backups here, perhaps I was mistaken. For the record, I did note that
this is a purchased copy of the movie (anyone want me to send them one of those
"Proof of Purchase stubs"? <g>)

Any time I spend on this will be more than made up in the long run if I can cut
down the amount of time, effort and money I've spent on looking for and
replacing lost and damaged disks. Yes, I have kids. And yes, I too earn a
living from my intellectual property. This isn't about pirating.

Turns out, the problem was with the player software, so I upgraded (yes, I
spent money <g>) from the Dell bundle version of PowerDVD to the latest pay
version of PowerDVD.

While I'm at it, let me pose the rhetorical question: why is it now accepted
practice for people to rip their CDs into a digital music library, but not
accepted practice for people to rip their movies into a digital movie library?
Is it the DMCA? Technology has sure caught up. Yes, I want my kids to be able
to pick from a list of movies on the TV-connected PC rather than have them
handle physical media, just as they do today for their music.
