 dd if=/dev/dvd of=Movie.iso

 but that fails also.

That will only work with unencrypted DVDs.

I use dvdbackup, and it hasn't failed me yet.

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
