Of note was that the movie I was originally experimenting with is my daugher's Cinderella III movie. The problem I encountered with ripping the iso was with The Prestige - also note that I couldn't rip a "perfect" transcoded copy either (the rip timer just starts getting exponentially big). Does anyone else out there have this movie that they could see if its a problem with the contents of the disc? I'm attempting another DVD (Babel) to see if the playback problems are specific to Cinderella III. Again, if anyone has advice on how to get the transcoded playback to improve, let me know.
