@ Crundy,
As suggested by Forum Member haveacigar you need to closely review the CD Freaks Forum Rules (http://club.cdfreaks.com/announcement.php?f=88&announcementid=37).
Attempting to make a copy of a rental Commercial DVD Movie Title that you do not legally own clearly exceeds any “Fair Useâ€.
If your rental copy of a Commercial DVD Movie Title fails to play correctly in a DVD device by definition this particular Commercial DVD Movie Title is defective and should be returned to the rental store and request a refund or another rental copy.
The “It Just Hangs After 5 Mins Or So†symptom is a clear indication that this particular Commercial DVD Movie Title contains a manufacturing defect and the correct remedy is to return this particular Commercial DVD Movie Title back to the rental store.
As pointed out by Forum Member reasonsnotrules CD Freaks Forum Members are not going to assist anyone in bypassing any copy protection schemes on rental Commercial DVD Movie Titles.
Best Regards,
