In the last year there has been a slew of blu-ray movies that have this scenes out of order problem, I'll list them at the end. In some cases it's minor where the movie cuts to a 20 second scene that's out of continuity order two or three times throughout and then right back to continuity. But some movies have serious problems where there are 3 minutes (or more, I haven't exactly put a stop watch on them) sections that go back and forth a dozen times during the course of playback.
For example, one movie that had the biggest problem is The Hunger Games - Catching Fire and two people besides myself reported it in this thread http://forum.dvdfab.cn/showthread.ph...s+order&page=3 back in March 2014. Here are several examples of the problem:
At 9:16 Katniss is talking to president snow in the library; at 9:17 cuts to a scene on the train were Peta walks in and says something like "You don't have to apologize to anybody, including me" this scene go's on for 2:47 until 12:04 and then returns to the scene in the library.
This is were it starts to get really complicated: Then at 16:26 Katniss & Peta have just finished the interview in Victor's Village and Effie say something like "We're out of here in 10 bla bla bla the train awaits" and continuity cuts back to the train at 16:27; and a scene plays that appears to lead into the out of order train scene at 9:17, this scene lasts until 16:59 and then at 17:00 cuts to Peta and Katniss speaking at the podium at their first stop on the tour, a scene which should have followed the scene that was interrupted 12:04; this scene runs until 18:29 when it cuts back to the scene in the library with Katniss saying "why don't you just kill me now" a scene which has already played. A good portion of the first quarter of the movie is like this; cutting back and forth between scenes which are out of order and in some cases scenes replaying.
Over the last nine months, I've tried every once in a while to copy this again to see if there's been any improvement and I just tried again yesterday with version 9.1.8.7, I see that version 9.1.8.8 is out but I doubt that one minor version update will correct this problem. I've attached a log file of the yesterdays full disc copy in case anyone wants to look at it.
Also, another thing about Catching Fire: the DVDFab ripper seems to suggest that 205 is the correct playlist file for this disc but there are a total of 226 playlist files for this disc and 80 that are the exact same byte size as 205; I've watched at least 15 of the 80 and so far all of them seem to have the same scene continuity errors. so if someone knows that one of these 80 playlist files plays the movie without continuity errors then please let me know what it is.
As I mentioned above Catching Fire has by far the worse of the scene continuity issues but also Divergent has some serious problems as well. As I mentioned above there have been a slew of movies in the last year that have minor scene continuity problems: Red 2, The Expendables 3 and a couple more whose names I can't recall right now.
Can someone from the Fab team please look into this problem, also why this was reported almost a year ago and yet the problem still exists. Perhaps put a sticky thread at the top of this forum for people to report this?
