I can highly recommend

DeVeDe
http://www.rastersoft.com/programas/devede.html

It uses mencoder instead of transcode and works like a charm for me every 
single time for just the situation you describe. Make an ISO and burn to disc 
with K3B.

Available now at a Packman mirror near you.

Did you try  adding yourself to the group 'audio?'   That is how I  resolved a 
problem with similar symptoms a few days ago, right after a big YOU update. 
Add yourself to cdrom and video while you are at it.

The drop down menus going behind a Flash movie can be remedied in the  page's 
HTML.  I ran into this myself a few times.  Tell the site's web team to 
insert


 
into the object/embed tags.   I think this may still not fix the problem on 
Safari, but who cares.   At any rate, this problem is not  with your Flash 9 
install on Linux.  Not sure about the gray areas.
