mencoder stops before it finishes - stops around 4% - all dvd's

mencoder-1.0-0.94.20080531svn.lvn9.x86_64

mencoder dvd:// -dvd-device /dev/sr1 -aid 128 -oac mp3lame -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=800:vhq:vpass=1 -o friday.avi

all i get is this message at the end:

Writing index...
Writing header...
ODML: Aspect information not (yet?) available or unspecified, not writing vprp header.

mencoder used to work perfectly before, don't know what happened. any ideas would be appreciated.

Don't you need to specify which title of the DVD to rip?
