It could i would suggest you download and run AnyDVD while ripping with decrypter this could solve you problems.
How would AnyDVD help? BTW, I backed up again after cleaning the disc - this time there were no errors - so I burned the image to disc - and I STILL have the same !@#$%^ problem. Playback stops at a certain point on the disc. My main problem is compatibility issues with a brand new Toshiba DVD player and no issues with an older Toshiba DVD player. ...RN
