[dvd::rip] can't grab frames

["Josh Sharpe" <josh.m.sharpe@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

For some reason on some DVDs preview image grabbing hangs at 99% complete with either slow grabbing or normal grabbing.

I ran found this post: 

---> 
http://www.exit1.org/archive/dvdrip-users/2006-09/msg00012.html

that describes a solution that I tried but cannot get to work.

I'm using Ubuntu 6.10 with their dvdrip package 0.98.1

I've run the grab preview image in a terminal and the output is displayed below.  Notice that it seems to hang at the same place that the above poster described.

So I tried reinstalling libmpeg2 (it's called libmpeg2-4 on ubuntu) but that didn't fix it.  Does anyone else have any other ideas?

**If possible could one of the ops get me the above guy's full email address so I could email him asking what distro and version he is using?**
