Its designed to filter out the macrovision - which is what causes the retrace lines to appear in the older sets. newer sets do not scan the first few lines which is where the blanking information for the macrovision is.

Also as mentioned some DVD players have software that allows you to turn off the macrovision.

Another solution is to download DVD shrink, and make a copy of the movie you're trying to watch. A little more time consuming but also works.
