None of the ripper programs I tried were able to get a complete rip of Moulin Rouge. I think this is a two-layer DVD, it's over 6GB split into 7 VOBs. SmartRipper just dies 330MB into VOB4. DVDDecrypter hits an error there as well, but it lets you skip on and it pulls VOBs 5-7 OK.
I was actually able to rip it by using Graphedit and using the Intervideo Navigator to play back the disc. First I had to hook up a video decoder and renderer to navigate past the opening menus, then
I just hooked up Dump filters on the Video and AC3 outputs of the navigator to write to separate files. Later I could play back the files by hooking up Mpeg 2 Splitter to each one. (there is only a single stream in each file, but you still have to parse the Mpeg 2 transport stream headers I guess.) Heck, with DirectShow you don't really need anything else...
