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... Steve
