Re: [dvd::rip] Newbie help request: won't start 2nd pass

[Richard Heurtley <richard@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is an old transcode issue that I've been waiting to be fixed. It 
believe it has to do with variable frame rates on newer DVDs and I've 
observed that the problem seems to happen more often with Disney DVDs 
than others. The DVDs in my collection that don't compress for this 
reason are:

Aladdin
The Godfather
The Incredibles
Pirates of the Carribbean
Shark Tale
Shrek 2
