Hmm, I have no idea, why the .ps1 file is empty, since...

extracting the ps1 stream seems to work.

dvd::rip relies on the .ps1 file if it's there (although a 0-byte file 
is quite useless...) and goes further extracting vobsubs from it.

Try deleting the empty .ps1 file and hit "create now" again. Although we
don't know why the 0-byte file was created (probably an earlier 
not-recognized error?), this may work.

Which transcode version do you use?
