Is this Garbled sound some form of iDVD copy protection?

[ps2daddy]

I videotaped a wedding and transferrred it to iMovie then to iDVD and it works perfectly done this many times.

However, I decided to make a videotape of this movie(via rca cables from DVD player to vcr) and when I tried to record it it went ok, until about 30-40mins into the video all I could hear was static.
(Whenever I would play the dvd all the way through there was never any static)

So I switched dvd players and I got the same results
So I switched VCR's and I got the same result

Has someone else had this same experience?
Is there anyway around this?

Bump

Sorry, totally stumped. All I can think of is to ouput from imovie back to mini-DV and then record from the mini-DV directly onto VHS. I've only done this a couple of times but the quality was impressive.

Can't explain what's happening to you DVD sound though

I already ditched the imovie file a long time ago

Then I saw that you can use DVDxDV to convert the dvd back to a DV file and sound that iMovie can use so I downloaded the trial version

I noticed that the pro verison of this software works but it writes DVDxDV through your video as a watermark, so I gotta scrape up $25- $80 to buy it

Take the DVD made from iMovie.
Re-rip with OSEX to elementary streams
with the DVD ripped, de-macrovisioned and such,
open the .m2v file in QT Pro, save out as
DV Stream.
Open the audiointo ffmpegx
save as AIFF, 16bit, 160KBPS.

Re-import DV video into iMovie.
Re-import AIFF audio into iMovie.

I have a new problem now
wehn I rerip the dvd with OSex I selected elementary streams I get the .mv2 file
But when I use quicktime pro 6.51 it doesnt recognize the file
I installed the quicktimepro mpeg codec for QTpro 6.4

Any idea of whats happening? or is there a QTPro6.5 mpeg codec updater
