Thanks to all three of you for your answers. Seeing them I remember Neil suggesting vobcopy when I was first looking into ripping DVDs to play on my Kindle. I need to study all the suggestions. If it wasn't clear, being that this problem with handbrake crashing occurs when it attempts to rip a physical CD I'll also want to determine how to recreate a new physical CD that causes the same problem so that I can evaluate fixes to handbrake whenever they come along. Again, thanks for your inputs. Cheers, Mark
