[MPlayer-users] Strange issues with individual DVD

[Bradley Alexander]

Hey all,

I am having an issue with a DVD, and wanted to know if anyone has seen
anything similar. The DVD is Kelly's Heroes, it is labelled 

WIDESCREEN 65156 REGION 1

I can play it under mplayer, however mencoder gives me the following
errors:

[defiant /backup/tmp/Kelly/vob/001]# mencoder -ovc frameno -o
frameno.avi -oac mp3lame -lameopts abr:br=128 -alang en

I also, using the DVD Ripping guide, tried using transcoder. Ripping the
vob works fine until about halfway through, then I start getting

Please can anyone show me what I'm missing? I just finished ripping MIB,
and have successfully done others as well.

Thanks,
