I noticed a strange issue with a back up copy of the expendables 2. I ripped the film using anydvdhd and tried to play it back through XBMC. It's really strange what happened when i tried to play the movie. At some chapter breaks the movie would skip ahead play for a minute and then skip back to where it left off. Then latter in the move it did the opposite it skipped back to the scene that it had jumped earlier. Just wondering if this is a normal thing. I haven't noticed this with any other bluray. I played the iso back with TMT and it played fine.

First skip happens around 7:27 at the end of chapter 1.

I've reported a similar issue with Tron: Legacy; In that movie it jumps back a couple of minutes, but when it reach the same point in the movie the 2nd time around it doesn't skip back.

Sounds kind of like the nasty tricks that movie companies used to do to make it harder to rip movies from DVDs.

I don't think that's the case here though, AnyDVD HD should correct problems like that when ripping. Also, at least for the movie I had trouble with, the movie plays just fine in VLC and MPC-HC. Maybe the problem is related to the fact that XBMC seems to misinterpret the current time and/or chapter points, as I reported in my other thread on this topic. XBMC is reporting the current time in the movie incorrectly for blu-ray .iso's, and when skipping chapter the chapter jumps are off by several seconds. However, if you mount the same .iso in a 3rd party virtual drive outside of XBMC and play it back using "Play disc" instead of from the library, the chapter jumps are correct (but the current time is still off by several seconds).

it has to be a play back issue with xbmc since the file plays fine in TMT5 and PowerDVD 12. My only real complaint with XMBC is it's blu-ray iso support.

TMT5 and PowerDVD 12 have access to specs and information that no one else does because they're officially licensed to playback that content.
