    What are you ripping with ?
    What are you playing them back with ?
    Are you doing anything to them in between ?

    I play them with Power DVD or Media player. Rip them with DVD shrink.
    It happens with downloded DVDs too. I wonder if its a codex problem?

    Try playing one with VLC Media Player. It uses it's own codecs, so it's one way to test if you have a codec problem.

    Do un-ripped DVDs play blocky as well? You didn't specifically say whether you had identical problems with the original DVDs before ripping them.
