hi
im have successfully ripped many dvds with mencoder, and subsequintly
compressed them with mencoder as well. i jsut got two dvds, and they both
seem to not want to rip. they both play jsut fine on my tv's dvd
player...but with mencoder the ripping process slows to a crawl, and then
halts when the process is at about 30%. when the process halts, i cant even
kill mencoder. i first tried with a version of mencoder from cvs that was
about a month old, then i jsut updated mplayer/mencoder from cvs as of dec31
2002. same problem persists.
for one of the dvds, one time it ended with this: (the other times they jsut
locked up mencoder, and i couldnt even kill mencoder)

let me know if you need to see this with -vv enabled...but it may take a
while...most of the time the dvd jsut locks up mencoder.
also, another dvd of mine wont play at all on my pc. well i should say,
title one wont play on my pc. i jsut get a bunch of messed up greens crap in
the video window--as if the index was really badly messed up. a few seconds
here and there the video or audio clear up to something descernable...but
not for long. the dvd has some scratches, but nothing big--but the dvd plays
flawlessly in my tv's dvd player. is there some new technology being used on
dvds that causes them to not display on pc's, or cause a dvd-ripper to
freeze?
thanks,
