I have also invested in a new DVD burner (Pioneer DVR-215) thinking that might be the cause - all to no avail.

The account I am using is an administrator account. I have also tried using compatibility mode with XP, and for good measure I also ran it in compatibility mode with the administrator check box ticked.

I got so sick of it last night that I walked away from the PC. When I returned it had eventually found the movie in the DVD drive! I then decided to change the default output path and it hung again! It eventually came up with an error that I can't recall and the program shut itself down.

I have also tried the new beta release 5040. All the same problems still persist. I am tempted to set up my PC as a dual boot one with XP, and then use XP to do my ripping. I never had any issues with XP and I am beginning to miss it!

One more thing, this has happened with about 6 movies. Which is all the ones I have tried ripping.

Is this a Vista problem or something else? Any help would be appreciated.
Have you checked to see if setting PathPlayer to "Always enabled" not "when necessary",also if there are scratches even small ones can cause this issue.
you can also try making a change in common setting .. READ and select "Ignore all reading errors automatically", you may also try changing the I/O mode from auto to SPTI (same location in common settings >> READ )
