</div>It was Surfs Up. And let me correct myself. When I said it didn't<br>
play, I wasn't entirely accurate. If you let it play through all of<br>
the previews, it would work fine. But if you tried to skip past them<br>
in order to get to the main menu, it would drop you back to the myth<br>
menu. I was sure it was a Arccos style copy protection mechanism until<br>
I ripped it with myth and it ripped fine (no ddrescue necessary). The<br>
ripped ISO exhibits the same problem while skipping. Checked the logs<br>
and saw the libdvdnav error<br>

</div></div></blockquote></div><br>I see a lot of problems playing DVDs with MythDVD, often the disc plays fine for most of it, but will either fail to play a special feature or just dump me out at a specific time. It doesn't happen on every disc, not even on most of them, but enough to be annoying.<br>
<br>I usually just use my playstation 3 for playing DVDs and only use MythDVD for my region 2/PAL DVDs.<br>
