Anyone ever have a hopelessly messed up video stream?

Ok, ripped the video and audio from a movie with DVDDecrypter set to demux. The rip was clean (no errors).

I stripped the pulldown flags with Dgpulldown and then ran the video through Womble's GOP Fixer (Read+Write).

There is a section of video that I cannot work with. I've tried using it before the GOP clean and I've tried using the Read+Encode+Write cleaning method. Nothing works on this thing.
When the editor hits that patch the video freezes and stutters. Scanning backwards and forwards in that region gets the editor out of sync. It's weird stuff.

I might have to scrap a project solely because I can't work with the files.
I could you some help.
 
What movie are you editing?
 
How long is the section? Might it be possible to convert it to a lossless codec and then back to MPEG2 (with little quality loss) to be able to work with it?
 
The section itself isn't very big. Not an unreasonable idea RB.
The worst of it is, I'm trying to put a couple of cuts right in the middle of it.

The project is looking fairly untenable regardless. I'll give the re-code a go, but I can't believe the stream couldn't be repaired.
 
Ok the weirdness continues.

I tried what I described above TWICE.

Today I did it all again in preparation for re-encoding... and there isn't a problem.

??!?!?

Ok thanks to everyones help. I press on with the folly of the first true fan edit I've done since the Matrix.
