Maineman, thanks for doing the tests, I really appreciate the help.

I re-ripped "The Illusionist" (another movie I had problems with) with 1 pass and it turned out just fine. We have certainly determined that the 2-pass encoding is the problem here which I hope will be resolved in the next version of DVDFab. I will plug the iPod into the TV today to see the results in terms of quality. I have always been advised to do 2 pass encoding as it does make a big difference. Hopefully my 1 pass will look decent enough to continue with this version until the issue is resolved. I have my entire library of over 1,000 DVDs that need to be ripped!

My settings are as follows:

MP4 format (2 pass)
1800 bitrate
128 kbps audio
119% volume
640x352 resolution
default framerate

File size is usually between 1GB-1.5 GB
