I'll start by saying that this is *SOLVED* but it represents a problem that I had with a previous Thai release and thought someone might be interested. The disc gets through 83% of "Analyzing" in DVDshrink when it freezes up and the program freezes, too. You have to open the tray to resume control. Ripping to hard Disc with AnyDVD stops at 3%, giving "FileIO 3VTS_02_1.VOB 69695488 86016".
Opening through DVDShrink by going directly to "Reauthor" and the disc drive shows two feature tracks, one exactly 30 minutes less one second longer than the other. By examining the details in VOBblanker, looking at the differences in chapter content and trying to view the extra chapters freezes things up again. Looking at the common chapters in the long version yields a good image in the preview.
To solve the problem of the extra chapters (there are 4), I made a backup from track 3, the shorter of the two features.
Someone may recall similar problems with the Thai release of Krabat a few months back. This disc, "The Road", is available in what is claimed to be R3 NTSC (it's really R0): http://www.ethaicd.com/show.php?pid=52029
I'm attaching a logfile. Hope this proves to be of interest.
