Only PCM audio available when transcoding DVD's?

Hi,

I've recently installed DVD::RIP from the yum repo's on my Fedora 15 x64 
system. All the latest versions of dvd-rip and transcode where installed 
however upon ripping a title I had this error:


--------------------------------


Job 'Transcode video - title #2, pass 1' failed with error message:
Command exits with failure code:

--------------------------------


Now I used DVD::RIP a long time ago back on a PIV system running Debian 
3.x or 4.x and worked fine then.


I thought as running the:


transcode -H 10 -a 0 -x vob,null -i 
\/home\/kaya\/dvdrip\-data\/A\.P\.E\.X\.\/vob\/002\/ -w 1008,50 -F mpeg4 
-A -N 0x2000 -f 25.000 -B 12,10,8 -R 1 -y ffmpeg,null -o /dev/null 
--progress_meter


command manually from the CLI yielded the same error that the issue 
might be with transcode...


I decided to remove transcode 1.1.5 using rpm -e --nodeps and compile 
1.1.0 from source.


I ran:

./configure --enable-alsa --enable-a52 --enable-faac

as I thought there might be some issue with the AC3' codec not being 
compiled into the package. I still get the same error however and I 
can't work my way around it!

DVD's play fine using Mplayer and Xine, I've tested and everything works 
including the sound.


Debug shows this output for dvd-rip:

I have been using these settings under transcode option:


Video Container: AVI
Video Codec: FFMPEG
FFMPEG Codec: MPEG4
Video Framerate: 25fps
2-pass encoding
Target media size: 1x 850MB

Audio AC3' direct passthrough


Can anyone help me?

Thanks in advance!
