Could possibly just be the media. Try better media like Ritek, Verbatim, or TDK.

nope all of them are straight images from the original dvd's, i hope that its just the media i am using, i have backed up a few of my xbox games and they work just fine. so i believe that the problem could be and correct me if im wrong...


making the image to fast.
burning the image to fast.
or not making the image with the proper settings.

You need to rip the movie first with dvd decypter or smart ripper to remove the protection....
