theosch, very complete explanation!
This is the thing I'm glad you (and Ch3vron) confirmed --->
It means, for those DVD iso's that I created using AnyDVD Rip-to-Image before I knew all this, there is no need to go back and re-do them all from the source disc -- since I primarily watch the .iso's on the computer anyway.
And if I do need to burn one, I can still use CloneDVD to remove structural protection first from the .iso, then burn the result.
That's a good thing too because in the early days I was so "pro-computer file"/"anti-disc" that I discarded the disc collection I had up to that point after ripping it!
I now know that was a bad move -- for a lot or reasons (another being that Hard Drives don't last forever. I had several die with my only copy of many irreplaceable titles. ).
At least I still have the option of creating new, structure protection-free discs from the .iso's I still have.
Thanks for clearing that up, dude!

... The AnyDVD-Rip-To-Image from original-DVD-ROM which of course still includes those bogus titel sets, just mount it in virtual drive, and you can still remove those bogus title sets afterwards with CloneDVD2 or AnyDVD-Rip-to-HDD later: Tested that out no issues
