[mythtv-users] Help! MythDVD rips are failing

[Joseph A. Caputo]

Was wondering if anybody could help me out... I haven't been able to 
successfully rip a DVD for some time... the last time I can recall a 
success was probably some time before 0.13.  What happens is that the 
DVD rips okay, then at some point (I think maybe after the first 
transcoding pass) it just fails.  mtd either hangs or crashes.  Before, 
when running CVS from early December, mtd & all its spawned processes 
would appear hung.  This last time around (with CVS from 1/09) I let it 
run overnight, and this morning none of the processes (including mtd & 
any of the transcode processes it spawns) are there, and I am left with 
a ripped .vob file and a twopass.log file.  No avi files anywhere to be 
seen.  Absolutely nothing on my box has changed in the last 6 months or 
so, other than upgrading to Myth CVS now and then.  I've got enough 
disk space & my permissions are all OK.

I have transcode-0.6.8, if that makes a difference.  Any thoughts?

TIA,
