Probably because of Remy's explanation, that you have forced the keys to
be read. I'd still us vobcopy as it does the decrypting once and stored a
decrypted copy of the disc's contents, and handbrake can work with a
VIDEO_TS directory instead of a DVD or image file.

Handbrake looks interesting, I'm trying to rip some DVDs to play on my
Eee during a long flight next week, but the ebuild from b.g.o fails
during compilation here.
