serving up a dvd collection 'on demand' (w/o the discs)

[Matthew Carpenter]

When ripping DVD's, be sure to pick a location several meg into the video to 
"grab" the frame rate.  Many hours of headache have been spent lamenting this 
one.  The video will start with one frame rate and then quickly switch to 
another...  leaving audio and video considerably off by the end of the movie.

If you all can figure out how to get around the funky stuff in The Matrix and 
the Clone Wars, I'd appreciate knowing.  The special effects play over and 
over from different angles, and when they're done the audio is significantly 
out of whack...
