dvd:rip *does* use transcode (+perl).

Since (at least) November, dvdrip+perl+transcode+freebsd has failed to
produce a synced a & v stream from *any* dvd for me (personal,
commercial, dvr, whatever; tried at least 10 dvd's before I shelved my
transcode for the moment).  I only pipe up now because I heard a
thirdhand fix that may help Kushara:  I'm told if you "copy" the
original AAC stream instead of transcoding it (i.e. lame, or even back
to AAC if that's possible), you have a much higher likelihood of
something playable after the fact.  Haven't tried it though...
