Those who are saying they can't backup Deja Vu are not imagining things or forgetting something or using bad media or hardware or selecting the wrong video stream. This movie is different from others. I have tried many different programs and combinations of programs to get a movie that would play correctly. I found only one solution that works, and it required both AnyDVD and CloneDVD2 from Slysoft.
Have AnyDVD 6.3.1.5 running in the system tray. Older versions of this program did not work for me. Insert the disc in the DVD drive. After AnyDVD finishes scanning, start CloneDVD2 2.9.1.5 and select the 2:06 stream. I took out the extra languages and subtitles, and picked DVD-DL for maximum quality. Tell it where you want your DVD files to go and when it finishes they will play just fine.
There is another program out there called CloneDVD. This program did not work for me. It must be Slysoft's CloneDVD, which they sometimes call CloneDVD2 and sometimes just CloneDVD, and I only tested it with the 2.9.1.5 version so this is the only one I know works.
For those who want to edit the movie before burning it (like to take out the bad language and the minute long long objectionable scene) you will need to combine all the .vob files into a single video file in order to not have audio/video glitches where the .vobs come together. Since CloneDVD inexplicably does not have an option for outputting the movie as single mpg2 file, you can open a "command" window (DOS window) and join the vobs into one file using the DOS copy command. The form looks like this, but what you type will depend on your file names. I always rename mine to make the typing easier:
copy /B 1.vob+2.vob+3.vob+4.vob+5.vob wholemovie.vob
You need the /B to tell it they are binary files or it will just try to make it a text file and you wind up with a tiny useless output file. If you always name your video files the same, you can make a batch file to do this for you. The command would be the same, but you would probably want to add a +6.vob and +7.vob in case more files are present on a different movie. Any that don't exist when you run the batch file will be ignored by DOS and so the extra entries won't hurt anything if they are not needed.
