DVD's are encoded via MPEG2, which is an asymmetric codec: it's significantly less computationally intensive to decode versus encode. (this is how it was developed to be, to allow cheap DVD players.

Indeed so, and possibly why there are badly-authored versions of apparently identical movies out there. Sometimes just the menu is bad. Other times the movie itself is bad. Either way, the player or the application is going to have trouble. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
