I ran into a very strange event when backing up Peter Pan: Return to Neverland. I noticed that by stripping the 2 non-English AC3 tracks, the entire movie could fit on a DVD-5. Cool, I thought. I can keep the interactive features, which my daughter would enjoy. I noticed that there were 3 FBI/Copywrite warnings in the first 2 VobID's of the VIDEO_TS.VOB file. Each one was 9 seconds. I figured, why watch 30 seconds of this material every time I pop in the DVD? With IfoEdit I deleted playback of a line of the VIDEO_TS.IFO file that contained the pointers to the two FBI VOBID's (as described here: http://ifoedit.wh.fr0zen.com/rcopy.html ).
I copied all other VOB's over to the stripped VOB's, did
'Get VTS Sectors', it corrected, finished, and the resulting folder played perfectly in both IfoEDIT (.95) and PowerDVD 4.
I burned the disk (Memorex) with latest patched Nero, and the resulting disc could also be played by PowerDVD. The entire process was under an hour.
Off to the home theater, where my Panasonic DVD-A320 cued up in a way that usualy indicated sucess, but then switched to "stop" after briefly displaying "PLAY". I tried reinserting it several times, each with the same result.
OK, now I'm off to my Verbatim DVD+RW, which always plays in my Panasonic. I figured it may have been Nero, so I create an image file with IfoEdit, and burn with DVD Decrypter. Same result.
I do the entire process again, from DVD Decrypter ripping all files, through the IfoEdit audio strip, through copying all of the extras. Only this time, I didn't pull out the pointers to the FBI VOB ID's with IfoEdit
I did the image file burning method again with the Verbatim RW with success. I pop in another Maxell, and I finally have a usable DVD+R that works with my Panasonic.
So my question, could it be that by Deleting Playback of the menu item that pointed to the VOBID's that contained that warnings, that it triggered some sort of copy write protection?
I know it may be daft, but I duplicated my results with a RW disc, so I'd be curious if anyone else could recreate it? Could it somehow be the DVD Player? It is a few years old, but this was a strange reproducible error.
Sorry for the long post, but I wanted to get in all the helpful details that I could.
