I've started a new thread since all the existing threads have been closed. I logged on to post this and now see that a 6.4.8.2 Beta has been posted, but the release notes do not specifically state whether it addressed the issue that I found with the 6.4.8.1. I'll try re-ripping with 6.4.8.2, but thought I'd post my findings here so the AnyDVD developers will know whether it has been addressed, and if not try again to complete fix this. I've also attached the 6.4.8.1 log file.
1. I re-ripped with the AnyDVD Ripper.
2. Burned with ImgBurn 2.4.2.0 and chose the original layer break point (Vob/Cell ID = 5/1 in the AnyDVD Rip). This layer break also coincides with the point where title 8 of the alternative branching version hands off to title 9.
3. Played in a Toshiba HD-A2 HDDVD player and a Pioneer DVR-270. Both players confirmed the issue I had already identified with Windows Media Player and other software players on my computer.
4. Do a time search to approximately 58 minutes. This is within title 8 before the switch to title 9. The next alternative scene is where "Max" throws the phone receiver at the Kaos henchman (Mr. Schtarker). As long as you either press enter when the option to play the alternative scene is presented OR if you just let it go away and ignore it, all is fine. The issue is if you instead rewind in an attempt to get the option to pop up again. It will NOT pop again (it does on the original disc). Instead it "rewinds" back to the beginning of title 9. This will happen over and over and any further attempt to fast forward or chapter skip to move past the phone-throwing scene is useless.
I assume the developers have access to the original DVD, so I request they investigate their rips also for this problem. Recommend burning to dual layer DVD to verify it happens on their standalone players also. By the way, I found that this also happens when playing the original DVD on my computer with AnyDVD active, so it is not just an issue with the rip, but with how AnyDVD handles this branching.
