I am using transcode to rip a DVD to xvid format. The xvid file is fine except there are periods where there is static in the sound...especially when the music includes drums. Other than the occasional static the sound is fine.

Here is the command line I am using -
transcode -i /dev/dvd -x dvd -T 5,-1 -a 0 -o Mylene_Farmer-Mylenium_Tour-dvd1ver4.avi -b 224 -Z 640-480 -y xvid4

I tried ripping straight from VOB files, but I get the same sound issue ( static )

My kernel is -
2.6.8-1.521smp

My distro is -
Fedora Core 2

My transcode version is -
transcode v0.6.14 (C) 2001-2003 Thomas Oestreich, 2003-2004 T. Bitterberg

Thank you for any help in advance.
