I use Goodplayer. Plays all my movies upto 720p smoothly.

When I copy my movies I remove the special features and all subtitles (except for films like Kill Bill that have foreign speech) as well as all audio with the exception of English (usually use DTS on DVDs when available) I end up with a decent sized file thats the same quality as my DVD, I have no c...

All 7 of my Nightmare on Elm Street DVDs have this issue

Bump - has any of the developers looked into this?

I continue to use MakeMKV to backup my Blu-Ray and DVD collection and it works fantasticly but I still have several DVDs that suffer from the AR issue.

It shouldn't matter as long as you own the movie you're ripping and only use the rip for personal viewing.

If it's of interest to anyone here is a clip of the movie, one with and one without the sequence display extension.

Yep.

I removed the sequence display extension using a piece of software called 'Restream' http://www.videohelp.com/tools/Restream

Issue is I had to demux the DVD using DVD Decrypter before I could remove the sequence display extension using Restream.

I found out what the issue is. It's something called the 'Sequence Display Extension' that screws up on certain DVDs when ripped. To fix the issue you have to remove the sequence display extension. Here's some quick shots I took of before and after removing the sequence display extension. From what ...

It didn't work.

I ripped the DVD with DVDShrink (with No Compression selected), put the files into DVD patcher and selected 16:9 aspect ratio, patched the files, ran the files through MakeMKV and ended up with the exact same result.

I'm going to try this now, I'll post back with my results.

Thanks for the link, if possible do you think you could outline the instructions on how to rip my dvd without this issue?

I've encountered aspect ratio issues with a few dvds, mainly Battlefield Earth and A Nightmare on Elm Street. Image below basically illustrates my issue..

Remaining hopeful that sometime in the future this issue gets fixed I'm ripping two copies of each of my Blu-Ray discs (one that contains LPCM audio, other that contains core audio)

Space is no contraint for me, i'm dumping all the LPCM movies onto the external drive I keep in my cupboard.
