Is that a question or an answer? As stated in the original post, "They
were ripped with DVDFabDecrypter and burned with DVDShrink, and neither
one of the movies is listed as being problematic to copy." The problem
could be copy protection, or it could be lousy disks. I'll try burning
again with my new NEC 4550 with my TY +Rs, when they arrive.
