Yea, I have a small DVD stack (5 to be exact) from my 200+ collection 
that I had to use my Windows apps to rip because Myth just pukes out on 
them. There is one pretty decent app that you can try if your all Linux 
and that is DVD::Rip. It has a lot of dependencies, but once you get it 
installed and figure out the interface it works very well, even for 
DVD's that are a pain in the ... From watching the logs, MythDVD appears 
to actually play a very minor role in the actual ripping tasks so maybe 
if someone knows what package does the actual "grunt work" (maybe 
libdvdcss?) and also pukes out on these types of DVD's we could submit 
reports on them? In my Windows converts I see in the logs "replacing bad 
sectors with blank frames" a lot on those DVD's so maybe that would be a 
good place to start... hhhmmm.
