Several of the tracks have the (seemingly) correct length of approximately 2 hours. (2) When trying to rip at any other quality than ""ISO,"" the progress screen briefly comes up, and then quickly returns to the ""hit 0 for new import"" screen (3) When trying to rip at ""ISO"" quality, the rip continues for a couple of minutes and writes between 700MB-800MB to the disk and then suddenly crashes back to the ""hit 0 for new import"" screen. I am imported several other DVDs successfully and the hard disk is not close to being full. After looking into /var/log/messages on my system (Gentoo), I saw these errors: {{{ Mar 18 17:43:47 localhost hdc: media error (bad sector): error=0x30 { LastFailed Sense=0x03 } Mar 18 17:43:47 localhost ide: failed opcode was: unknown Mar 18 17:43:47 localhost ATAPI device hdc: Mar 18 17:43:47 localhost Error: Medium error -- (Sense key=0x03) Mar 18 17:43:47 localhost (reserved error code) -- (asc=0x11, ascq=0x05) Mar 18 17:43:47 localhost The failed ""Read 10"" packet command was: Mar 18 17:43:47 localhost ""28 00 00 06 30 40 00 00 40 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 "" Mar 18 17:43:47 localhost end_request: I/O error, dev hdc, sector 1622272 Mar 18 17:43:47 localhost printk: 86 messages suppressed.

After doing some Googling, I found other DVD rippers having similar problems. Please see: http://forum.doom9.org/archive/index.php/t-123124.html In summary, this seems to be some sort of purposeful-bad-block scheme, in order to prevent users from creating copies of our own DVDs! I have seen this problem on another DVD I own, but I can't be sure it is the same thing... ---- System Information ---- Gentoo Linux Kernel: linux-2.6.18-gentoo-r3 ---- MythTv packages: [ebuild R ] media-tv/mythtv-0.20_p12963 USE=""alsa dvb dvd ieee1394 ivtv lirc mmx opengl perl vorbis xvmc (-altivec) -autostart -backendonly -crciprec -dbox2 -debug -dts -freebox -frontendonly -hdhomerun -jack -joystick -lcd"" VIDEO_CARDS=""nvidia -i810 -via"" 0 kB [ebuild R ] media-plugins/mythdvd-0.20_p11329 USE=""transcode vcd -debug -mm x"" 0 kB ---- output of hdparm -I /dev/hdc: ATAPI CD-ROM, with removable media Model Number: LITE-ON DVDRW SHW-160P6S Serial Number: Firmware Revision: PS01 Standards: Used: ATAPI for CD-ROMs, SFF-8020i, r2.5 Supported: CD-ROM ATAPI-2 Configuration: DRQ response: 50us.
