So if you see my post here http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1341685#post1341685, you will read of the problems I am having with Groundhog Day.

I am having the exact same problems with Ghostbusters. Both movies are Columbia Pictures-Sony Pictures releases.

I now just tried my rebuild of Groundhog Day in a Samsung BD player and it worked perfectly.

I have been successful in rebuilding and playing Monsters vs. Aliens and The Dark Knight as BD25 full movies and playing in my Panasonic DMP-BD35.

If you go to this post, this person looks like they are having similar issues http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1339250#post1339250 but with a Warner Brothers release (but my Dark Knight worked perfect-another Warner Bros. release).

There is concern that it is just a player compatibility issue.

My question is: could it be that there is something different in the menu structure of the Columbia Pictures releases that prevent BD-RD working on all players?

jdobbs - is it possible to analyze the menu structure of Groundhog Day to see if they are doing anything funky to prevent it working in a Panasonic? Or maybe RD-RB is not handling the menu quite right. I would be happy to send you any of the workfiles to help solve the problem.

Hopefully, jdobbs, you feel this is worth the time investigating. I know that you have a life and I do appreciate your efforts on this program so far since it is the only of its kind at this point!!

Thanks for your attention.

I just wanted to post an update progress on my use of RD-RB.

I have successfully made a Region A BD25 full disk backup of I,Robot. All menus work great. Video looks beautiful.

I am still trying to isolate the problem with Groundhog Day. I am now suspecting that it might have to do with BD Live. The original disc has the message "Network Connecting" at the point where it locks on the BD25 back up. The "Network Connecting" does not show on the backup at all. I did rip the disk with AnyDVD and specified to disable BD Live. I don't know enough about how BD Live works to understand if this might be why my full disk BD25 back up Groundhog Day won't work on my Panasonic (still not ruling out compatibility issue).

PS Movie only with RD-RB of Groundhog Day works perfect.

Any feedback greatly appreciated.
