I have 3 DVD's that Handbrake/iFlicks both crash at the same point. There is a small glitch in the video that makes both programs stop the encoding. Has anyone run into this before? I figure I have to do some kind of re-encoding of the original files in order for this to work, but I am at a loss here. If anyone has any advice/fixes I am open...thanks!
Got a tip for us?

Handbrake & iFlicks both fail...ideas?

Sounds like there could be some 0:00 length cells on the DVD. Do you have the program DVD2oneX? I use this program along with Fairmount to create a clean VIDEO_TS file when handbrake is not encoding correctly.
I already copied the DVD's to the HD, and these are not copy protected. I was able to just drag/drop the VIDEO_TS folder from the DVD to the HD (I have tried MacTheRipper and RipIt as well and both yielded the same results in handbrake/iFlicks) I have also tried DVD2OneX as well and no change. Very puzzling....and frustrating.
Was there an audio folder along with that video folder. Not 100% sure but think that folder needs to accompany the video folder.
I appreciate everyone's help in order for me to get this DVD ripped, and right now I am back to copying the original DVD to the HD and noticed that the DVD will not copy correctly. I first tried to use the superdrive and it failed, then my additional dvd burner and it failed. Only after I use ripit or mactheripper will the dvd copy (it doesn't have protection), so I am pretty sure now the DVD is at fault. I need a new copy of this DVD, which will be super tough as its a concert rip from a show I went to back in 2003. I was almost positive this DVD copied fine, but apparently I am wrong. Thanks to everyone who chimed in with things to try, unfortunately, its the media.
Just to let everyone know, I found out that 2 files were not copying in finder for whatever reason (no scratches on the disc). So I went to terminal to copy the files and it worked perfectly! Now trying the encode again, and crossing my fingers!!
Word to the wise - when finder fails copying, try terminal!

WOO HOO!!! After I copied the files via terminal (that failed when using finder) Handbrake encoded the video 100%!!! MacTheRipper/RipIt both would copy the DVD fine but handbrake would bomb out right at the end every time...but when using terminal to copy the files, it worked. I am not reading into this as I am just happy its done!
