What extra odd things could they have done to DVDs that would make them harder to rip? I assume they wouldn't want to break compatibility with existing players.

Mainstream DVDs have pretty much always been a collection of .TS files on the disc, best ripped with specialized software. Things like VLC pull in those libraries upon install anyway. Also, I think you mean "rip" rather than "burn", if you mean to copy data from the disc to your machine.
