Having given up on dvdrip for ripping dvd's, i've since moved on to a howto I was pointed at:
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Rip_DVD_mencoder I opt to go for the supposedly higher quality x264, so I do two passes: 1: mencoder -v ../vob/title1.vob -alang en -vf crop=720:352:0:62,scale=752:320 -ovc x264 -x264encopts subq=4:bframes=4:b_pyramid:weight_b:pass=1:psnr:bitrate=4452:threads=2:turbo=1 -oac copy -ofps 24000/1001 -vobsubout subtitles -vobsuboutindex 0 -slang en -o pass1.avi 2 (which whines about not finding the log file, so I have to rename divx2pass.log.temp to divx2pass.log manually -- donchya love having to figure things out): mencoder -v ../vob/title1.vob -alang en -vf crop=720:352:0:62,spp,scale,hqdn3d=2:1:2 -ovc x264 -x264encopts subq=5:4x4mv:8x8dct:frameref=3:me=2:bframes=4:b_pyramid:pass=2:psnr:bitrate=4450:threads=3 -oac faac -faacopts object=0:tns:quality=100 -ofps 24000/1001 -o pass2.avi However there is a problem with pass 2. I have tried this on two seperate systems, and the exact same thing happens: MEncoder 1.0pre8-3.4.6 (C) 2000-2006 MPlayer Team CPU: Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1.86GHz (Family: 6, Model: 13, Stepping: 8) MMX2 supported but disabled CPUflags: Type: 6 MMX: 1 MMX2: 0 3DNow: 0 3DNow2: 0 SSE: 1 SSE2: 1 Compiled with runtime CPU detection. 93 audio & 211 video codecs init_freetype get_path('font/font.desc') -> '/home/sgtphou/.mplayer/font/font.desc' font: can't open file: /home/sgtphou/.mplayer/font/font.desc Font /usr/share/mplayer/font/font.desc loaded successfully!

Any ideas out there? Because I can't get past this point.
