New Protection?

[OldCoot]

I've been using DVD Decrypter and have never had a problem decrypting anything... until Band of Brothers.
The 'special' metal boxed set with 6 DVDs.
On the second DVD (which has 2 episodes) on vob 4, DVD Decrypter would hang with a strange 'servo' error message.
It would happen both on my XP Pro SP1 system with an NEC ND 2500 burner and on my girlfriend's XP Home SP2 system with an older Pioneer 16X DVD-ROM.
I promptly downloaded AnyDVD and tried it again on both systems and got the same hang and error message.
Not one to take defeat lightly, since I'd made my girlfriend's system a dual-boot with XP and Windows 98 SE, I rebooted into Windows 98, installed AnyDVD and tried again.
It decrypted with no issues whatsoever!! (And also burned with no problem back in Windows XP)
Whatever the new copy protection is, it seems to be effective in Windows XP but doesn't work in Windows 98.
I hope that by posting this, I'll help someone else get over a decryption hang issue.

Often there's several names on the original dvd and if Sony is one of them, then you would need the latest anydvd runing in the background before decrypter and shrink or whatever is used.
