FYI, I just encountered PROBLEM with a mini Korean drama serie.
The problem was after anydvd finished scanning the disc which took alot more times than ususal, I could not rip the disc contents using dvd shrink or imgburn. I looked at the written side of the disc and saw that at close to the center of it, there was a something look like the punched hole on it (This punched hole appeared on all 10 discs). At first, I though the discs were damaged and I went back to the store in order to replace them with another set. However, the store ownner told me after I showed him the punched hole that THIS IS THE NEW KIND OF PROTECTION THAT BEEN APPLIED FOR THE FIRST TIME).
