Just out of curiosity, what DVD was it?  I think I was the one having 
problems a couple of weeks ago with ripping/transcoding.  I answer I 
finally came up with was that it was the DVD.  MythDVD usually works 
pretty well for me, but it (and almost every other DVD-ripping/
transcoding tool on Linux or Windows) chokes on every Disney DVD I've 
tried so far.  It rips the VOB to disk just fine, then just kind of 
hangs when it tries to do the transcoding.

Have you tried a 'Perfect' rip?
