[X4U] Making a DVD copy-CSS protection

[Brett Conlon]

David, are you working with the same RIP'd folder from MTR? It may pay  
for you to try RIP'n the original DVD again.

Does the RIP'd folder also play up in the same place when you play it  
from the computer - not sure if you've mentioned that or not. If it  
does then it is a bad RIP, if it doesn't it is likely a burn problem  
(probably in the layer change area as mentioned).

And yes, you're right, there aren't dual layer re-writables - my bad.  
I was thinking about my single layer tests.

Cheers,

Coj
