What lines? Do you mean interlacing lines or what? I downloaded the sample but I didn't see any problem

No, not interlacing. Dark horizontal thin lines. In the first screenshot I originally posted in the first post of this thread, you can see them. That was a screen shot taken with PowerDVD version 4.0. Media Player Classic version 6.4.9.1 (revision 114) also produces those same lines. On the other hand, Media Player Classic Home Cinema version 1.7.6 (ebc29cf) does not produce any lines.

This wouldn't be a problem if I only intended to watch these on my PC; I'd simply use Media Player Classic Home Cinema. It also wouldn't be a problem if the actual discs played perfectly in my standalone DVD player that's connected to my TV, because there are no lines that way either, but they don't. It is a problem because my WD Live TV hardware media player that is connected to my TV also produces those lines when playing the ISO images of the DVDs from a flash drive.

As I said, it is bizarre and I've never seen anything like it. What is so special about the GOUT MPEG-2 video streams which makes them produce lines on some playback hardware/software but not on others? I've never encountered any such weirdness with any other MPEG-2 video stream in my life.
