All my problems are when I've tried to mp3 the audio, which seemed like a reasonable idea to a newbie, and worked until sometime in the last 6 months. I think some interaction between dvd::rip and lame and or transcode has depreciated mp3 as a useable operation. I'm happy enough just to leave the audio alone now I know that's the fix. Hopefully the dvd::rip people follow this list, since it's advertized as a thin wrapper around transcode...
