I had the same problem and think that it has to do with some sort of  
copy protection. I also had rips where there was a big offset of  
video and audio.

My work-around for these issues is to use VLC to stream the movie  
into a PS stream and than transcode this stream with the settings  
(scaling, crop sizes, etc.) that I get from dvd::rip.

I hope that helps.
