I purchased a (legit, retail) DVD of the new Trolls movie a few days ago. I tried to back it up with AnyDVD and all went well, until I attempted playback in VLC.
The problem is that every 10 minutes or so, video playback pauses, and after a period of 5 to 10 seconds it recovers and video playback resumes.
I discovered what I believe to be the root of the problem by using handbrake as an attempt to troubleshoot. It failed transcoding at what looked to be the exact same place that the first playback interruption happened. I looked at the handbrake logs and googled the error I found. "avformatMux: track 3, av_interleaved_write_frame failed with error 'Invalid argument'"
It led me to discover that handbrake developers got reports of this happening to another person (with a different video), in a very recent bug report on github. They explained the problem, which is that frames were encountered in the video stream with bad timestamps. Could this be a new anti-backup protection?
The handbrake devs said they would put in a patch so that their software could deal with the problem to the extent that they can, but I am wondering: are the AnyDVD developers already aware of this potentially-new timestamp issue?
AnyDVD logfile attached for good measure. Handbrake log also attached.
