Personnaly, I find this situation a bit curious and strange. :-(
I tried a different shorter (3.9 minute vs. 21.1 minute) music video track from the same DVD-RW, but to AVI rather than MPEG. SMplayer was able to play the resulting AVI file all the way through without apparent exception.
I tried again with another music video, track 2 on the same DVD-RW, also 3.9 minutes. Dvd::rip predicted a slightly smaller 95MB mpeg file size than the track 1 109MB AVI. Dvd::rip again aborted as described in my OP. I repeated after switching container to AVI, which produced a 136MB AVI result playable in SMplayer. So the problem seems confined to the MPEG container type.
