The DVD seems to copy fine, at the time. When trying to view my back-up copy, it starts to freeze/stutter towards end of movie. I searched forum/online. Anyone else have this problem or should I just try to copy again. Any input is appreciated.

AnyStream is having some DRM issues currently, Netflix is not available in HD for the time being.
Situations like this will always happen with AnyStream: streaming providers are continuously improving their countermeasures while we try to catch up, it's an ongoing cat-and-mouse game. Please be patient and don't flood our support or forum with requests, we are working on it 24/7 to get it resolved. Thank you.

from Frequently Asked Questions (READ BEFORE YOU POST)
9. Why are my backups freezing, skipping, or showing a blocky pixellated mess during playback?
1. Update your burner's firmware (if available)
http://forum.slysoft.com/showpost.php?p=12794&postcount=10
2. Use good quality media (Memorex, Ritek, Princo, Fuji, TDK from Costco, and Maxell that are not made in Japan are not good quality media). Are you using inferior blank media? If you're not using Taiyo Yuden (not Valueline), Verbatim, Maxell Plus, or Maxell Broadcast Quality, then chances are the answer is yes.
If you use poor quality blank media, then you should expect problems.

3. Try lowering your burn speed a little (if you have a 16x burner and 16x rated media try writing to it at 12x or 8x instead of 16x)
4. If you're using +R, +RW, or +R DL media, change the booktype to "dvd-rom"
http://forum.slysoft.com/showthread.php?t=476 (step 3)
5. Avoid sticker labels (they tend to cause problems)
6. Try setting a custom size of 4300 in whatever burning program you're using (but if you're using good media, you shouldn't have to) if you're using regular single layer dvd-5 (4.7GB) discs.
7. Download Nero cd-dvd speed. It's a free program. Select the tab labeled "scandisc". Insert the problematic backup disc, select the appropriate drive letter, and click "start". If Nero cd-dvd speed reports read errors, your backup is bad (which is the most likely case), your optical drive may be slowly dying, or your optical drive simply doesn't like the disc (or your choice of blank media)--even if the disc looks fine.
Bad burn quality is notorious around the end of discs (see step 6)
and also at layer breaks when using low quality DL media (use Verbatim +R DL media made in Singapore or MAM-A 8x +R DL, and change the booktype to "dvd-rom")
I'm having same problem with Mr. Woodcock. I copied to my hard drive and made copy to my PSP. Went to watch on psp(always test before leaving pc). It starts to skip/freeze towards the end of the movie. This has happened twice in last few weeks....Always worked till now, new encrpytion or just a hiccup in my pc!!

I've not seen this complaint until now. Could you guys be a bit more specific than "towards the end"?

Towards the end of the movie--towards the end of the disc . . .
It's a fairly common problem, especially with poor quality blank media (and when burning too quickly).
If you use junk blank media, setting a custom size of 4300 (in Clonedvd, for example) helps to avoid this problem.
In other words, it's a bad backup disc/bad burn issue.

I'm copying the disc to my external hard drive. I'm going to try to slow down the copy rate and see if that works. Will update and let you know if that fixes the problem. Kinda weird that two people are having same exact issue though......
Thanks for the help and will see if it works.

That's my opinion, yeah, but gee, can you get a bit more... vague? Toward the end...
There should be no issues with this title.

Not at all. It's a very common problem (hundreds, if not thousands, of people experience this issue; it has nothing to do with the movie you're backing up), especially when using inferior quality blank media.

Wait a minute . . . You're not burning to blank media? That would have been nice to know.
:doh:
How are you ripping this movie then?
What program are you using to rip?
Right click on the red fox icon on your toolbar-->Select "rip video-dvd" to harddisk.
The problem occurs when you watch the movie from your external harddrive using what program?
-----
1. Use Anydvd 6.3.1.4: click http://sandbox.slysoft.com/beta/SetupAnyDVD6314.exe
You may need to reboot after installing if prompted to do so.
2. Click the red fox icon on your toolbar. Click "default". Click "ok".
3. If you use something other than Clonedvd, right click the red fox icon on your toolbar-->select "rip video-dvd to haddisk" . . . after you can import that rip into whatever you want
4. Use the latest Clonedvd: click
http://static.slysoft.com/SetupCloneDVD.exe
5. Follow the steps from this link in order: click http://forum.slysoft.com/showthread.php?t=476 (follow them step by step)
6. If you still have problems, then . . .

b) Put the problematic original disc in your optical drive/reader. Wait for Anydvd to scan the disc.
c) Right click the red fox icon on your toolbar.
