Well, here is a weird one - Some movies that I've backed-up when played on my lifestyle 35 system, at certain points in the film, the sound will blank-out for a split second. What's strange is that it always happens at the same exact spots, it's not random skips. Some movies play back fine, like the Matrix or Men in Black, while others have these "skips" at the same point in the movie, South Park or Star Trek First Contact. (the same point for that particular film - happens in the first minute of south park, hapens after an hour in star trek)
I always rip movie only with smartripper, strip-out unwanted streams with ifoedit, get VTS sectors, then create image with ifoedit's DLL, then burn the image in prassi 2.0. These movies play back with no problems on pc, my two pioneer stand alones. I have always written at 1x speed on branded TDK.
tried Pioneer branded media - same result.
Upgraded my A03's firmware from 1.65 to 1.90 - still has the same problem.
de-muxed the VOBs then used Maestro to re-mux into new VOBs- and same result.
Going to try this on a Verbatim and a Memorex tonight and see what happens.
This is truly strange. if you have any insight or something i didn't consider, please point me in the right direction.
Thanks,

The plot thickens - result with Verbatim and Memorex the same. But I tried something else - this only happens when playing back the 5.1 soundtrack, if i choose the 2-channel it plays fine. Gonna rent the original South Park today and see if it happens with the "real" DVD.
