Well that was fun :-(

I changed the checkbox to use divx instead of xvid, and tried to 
rip another DVD. Things looked good as it ran for ~34 minutes, and 
everything looked as it has on previous riping atempts. Unfortunately, 
There is no trace on the filessystem of teh resulting file :-(

Amy susgestions as to what to try next?

It feels like I _SO_ close to making this work.
