oh, i forgot something.

everytime i explored the two dvds directory in explorer (winXP), in /video_dts there are many files but only with 0 kb, every one of them !! but i managed to extract all the files with isobuster ( odd isn't it ??)..

so what's wrong with this dvds ???

No...

Sounds like your dealing with pirated DVDs...

Use DVD Decrypter to remove macrovision protection and decrypt to your hdd and playback from there.. This extends the life of your DVD-Rom.

the odd thing is, i CAN play the backup (i used isobuster) on my HDD n works well on powerdvd n winDVD.

it's just not simple for me to do isobuster just for watching this dvds.

i know you can easily say that i have a pirated dvds (to: setarip) and maybe i must admit that MAYBE these dvds are pirated coz i rent it n so i dont exactly ( is it correct ??) know if it's a illegal one. but why it's happe now, not months before coz i have rent many dvds for sometime now and this make me ill.

if you think you can somehow make an explanation to me about this problem ( 0 kb files) i WILL very appreciate than just a simple post that say i have pirated dvds.

no offense here ok
