Thanks for all the suggestions! My Phillips DVD writer is internally mount=
ed. =20
After about half way instead of flipping over and burning the second layer =
it=20
just fails with an input/output error. I've tried my Gentoo OS and a Knopp=
ix=20
CD just in case it was a matter of OS/application settings, but the same=20
error occurred.
I noticed that there are at least three DVD rip apps in portage:
media-video/dvdrip
media-video/acidrip
media-plugins/vdr-vdrrip
How do they compare?
Two more Qs:
Running mencoder seems to work in producing a smaller file, but it is a bit=

choppy (drops frames). Not sure what the correct options are, this is what=
I=20
have used:

=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
If I set it to pass=3D2 it fails with an error about xvid: you must specify=
one=20
or a valid combination of 'bitrate', 'pass', 'quantizer' settings. The thi=
nk=20
is I cannot read what it says fully because the character set in my termina=
