Hey Everyone,
I've been encoding most of my DVD into Divx files with no problem; however, I've had a problem with two specific titles:
1) Fast times at Ridgemont High
2) In the bedroom

In #1 after doing a complete Rip using smartripper playback is Completely black when using PowerDVD or viewing with DVD2AVI

Same scenario with #2, except playback just had a completely green screen during playback.

There is audible sound, and I've done nothing different than when I encode movies like the Matrix, Mulholland Drive, Goodfellas, etc

Do I need to use a different Ripper for these movies? What's actually the problem?
Thank you in advance for your help!

I've had problems like this in the past -- turned out to be the number of colors the pc was set to display. If you currently have 16-bits of color set, try setting 24 or 32, and see if that cures your problem.
