[dvd::rip] [mplex] Too many frame drops -exiting

["Jamin W. Collins" <jcollins@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm attempting to use dvd::rip to convert my existing DVD collection 
into MPEG-2 files compatible with my Hauppauge MVP.

I'm searched the mailing list and this error appears to have been 
reported a few times over the years, but I was unable to find a solution 
to the problem.

I've tried various different configurations, yet mplex always reports 
output like the following.  Any suggestions on how to correct this or 
better way to convert the DVDs would be greatly appreciated.

Command: execflow -n 19 mplex -f 4 -r 7019 -V -o 
/home/jcollins/dvdrip-data/unnamed/avi/001/unnamed-001-%d.mpg 
/home/jcollins/dvdrip-data/unnamed/avi/001/unnamed-001.m2v 
/home/jcollins/dvdrip-data/unnamed/avi/001/unnamed-001.mpa  && echo 
EXECFLOW_OK
