I seem to have a few problems when ripping a few R1 DVD's and keeping the right aspect ratio.

Using stream processing to get each episode out (4 on each)
Outputted files are an IFO, VOB and AC3

Upon testing them each for the right content a few have the right display mode (Anamorphic Widescreen 720x480 [AR 16:9]) while some from the same set output very differently even when the setting are all the same when ripping (720 x 480 [AR 4:3])

Checked out the IFO of both vobs (correct and incorrect versions) using IFOEdit 0.971

Correct one
Coding Mode - MPEG-2
Standard - NTSC
Bitrate - VBR
Film - Camera
Aspect Ratio - 16:9
Resolution - 720x480
Static - Automatic Letterboxed

Incorrect one
Coding Mode - MPEG-2
Standard - NTSC
Bitrate - VBR
Film - Camera
Aspect Ratio - 16:9
Resolution - 720x480
Static - Automatic Letterboxed

As you can see the settings are excatly the same, just that playback of the vobs shows widescreen and other shows small square version.

Is there anything I can do to get them ripped perfectly?

I just ran into a similar thing with a menu in 'Crash', you can read what the gurus told me about it here (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=100556). You will probably need to edit the VOB's or as r0lZ suggested try to fix it with DVDPatcher, OR demux the .m2v... and why wouldn't you since you already demuxed the ac3 streams?

With which program are you ripping the DVD's? Where's your logfile?
