So I had heard, but the "problem" has never effected me, probably because I am rarely interested in recent movie releases, 
most of them seem to be (bad) re-makes or sequels, or genres that don't interest me.

From what I've read, these  "problem" disks use the menu to jump around in ways that Handbrake can't follow, and/or have 
many "false" tracks that are also hard to follow, but, as I said, I've not encountered any of these "problem" disks.
