This is something I've noticed for a while now, although my backups seem to work so I've never given it much thought (I'm no expert on the technical intricacies of DVD formatting; particularly not those that studios apply weird structural protections to). But I figured I may as well post and ask if this was normal behaviour.
So, often after I've ripped a DVD (one with structural copy protections) using AnyDVD and CloneDVD (I typically set CloneDVD to create an ISO), I notice that if I ever create a disc from the image or mount it into Virtual CloneDrive, after AnyDVD has scanned the disc it still reports having removed potential bad sectors, and finding structural copy protections. The reports aren't necessarily identical between the original and the ISO, however. I noticed it most recently when I was backing up Mission Impossible 4.
