I have been using Handbrake for some time to convert dvd's to m4vs so I can put them on my mac, iphone and now, my ipad. It's gone well until lately. The last few new dvd's I've tried (Alice In Wonderland, Star Trek, Sherlock Holmes to name a few) have come out funky. I've been getting a green screen or a bunch of colors or the video (as with Alice) chapters are all out of order. I've read that this is an attempt by the producers to block ripping. Yeah, yeah, I get that and all. But do you have any suggestions to fix this? Albeit slow, Handbrake has always been awesome. But I cringe at investing an hour-and-a-half to get crappy output anymore. Any help you can offer would be appreciated. PS - I'm hopeful you come back with a "oh, you just need to click this box" answer. Hehehe....he.........he.......

At 82 I've celebrated our 50th Wedding anniversary with my husband Frank, spent the last year photographing street kids and their signs, from my mobility scooter. `I recently bought a Zune 120 GB, since if offers great sound and lots of room for photos. I'm a classical music person and am loading it up wit J. S. Bach at the moment from legally purchased CDs in my own collection. Initially I had no problem having it pick up the "song" information, but today, when I attempt to do so, it just gives me " song 1, song 2 etc.. and seems to require me to make a purchase to obtain it. I'm someone who learns most easily from a printed manual, and usually spend a fortune on ancillary books -- the Zune's limited documentation is its most frustrating feature. However, the sound quality, both with earphones or external Altec Lansing speakers is excellent. I also like being able to listen to the radio in the dark when I can't sleep, since putting on a light to read disturbs my husband! If you have any suggestions as to a manual or info as to how I can capture the detailed song information, I'd be grateful! Many thanks, Joan Hi, Jason,
