Hi guys...a newbie to this forum and novice at that, so apologies in advance as well if this is the wrong thread.

Running MB Pro with Vers 10.5.8

From this I have been running MRP combined with Handbrake to add our family home DVD collection to recently purchased :apple:TV.

However, whilst most DVD's have not posed too much of an issue, one case does have me stumped. I have searched the various forums and am still none the wiser.

Issue

One DVD, Scooby Doo, The Mystery Begins (aptly named) causes an issue.

Step 1 - Run MRP to extract files

Step 2 - Run D-Vision 3 to stitch the resultant multiple .VOB files into just one .VOB file, as Handbrake can't handle multiple files.
At this point I check the D-Vision .VOB file 3 by running it in VLC...and it works perfectly.

Step 3 (and this is where it all goes wrong) - using the preview function in Handbrake, to convert to mpeg-4, I run a short 10 sec clip of the .VOB file, however, the video playback is distorted and scrambled. I have actually ran the whole encoding in Handbrake to see if it fixed itself, but alas, that was wishful thinking too.:confused:

So question is, is there something that I am doing (maybe a setting) that is preventing Handbrake from giving me the desired result, or, is it Handbrake itself which is the issue, in which case, what can I do and what are the alternatives?

Appreciate your help guys (my children are now on my case too)!!!
