Encoding always stops at 99.18% using DVDRIP

[Andrew Konosky]

I am trying to rip my DVD collection to put on my laptop whenever UPS 
gets around to delivering it, and I am using DVDRip. I have Mencoder, 
MJPEGtools, and transcode all installed, and I can rip the DVD through 
DVDRip, but the cropping never works because I get an error message and 
can't generate preview images. I have tried encoding as mpeg and avi and 
have used divx4,5 and the xvid codecs, but everytime it stops at 99.18%, 
and I am left with a .m2v file and an .mp3 file of the right sizes, but 
DVDRip won't merge them. I know there is a command-line way of doing it, 
but I never had to do that in FC2. Also, after waiting for 5 hours for 
the thing to encode, I would like to have it all done with, but no....

Any suggestions? I am thinking I will compile and install AcidRip 
tonight and see if that works, but I like DVDRip better.
