Does GI Joe: Rise of the Cobra use a new encryption...

[rayden54]

Or is it just jumpy as heck?

I rented GI Joe from Blockbuster, and I can't tell if it's using a weird encryption that makes it play the scenes in random order, or if it's really supposed to jump around that much. It really seems like it's playing part of a scene, and then just jumping to another much later in the movie.

It does this playing it in your DVD player attached to the TV?

Right now, the only dvd players I have are computer ones, and I have to return the movie before I'll get the chance to check. I haven't seen the movie, so I don't know if it's really supposed to be this way, but it doesn't seem to make any sense at all.

Before or after ripping ?

Honestly, it could well be the movie. From what I remember of it, it didn't make much sense.

Not ripped.

Edit: I found some information from people who'd successfully ripped the disc. According to a thread on the Afterdawn forums, the movie does appear to use a new type of copy protection.

I'm gonna try ripping it, and see if it'll play.

You'd think the studio execs would want me to be able to play a purchased disc (or rented in this case) without having to rip it to the hard drive. Kinda counter-productive if you ask me.

Just FYI it played fine on my standalone DVD player last week.

My Philips 5990 has a feature where it can skip the menus and go straight to playing the movie. Kung Fu Panda scenes were played out of order in that mode. I had to switch it back to regular menu mode to watch the movie.
