RipIt's rips frequently don't work when burnt back to DVD.

MTR4 never fails me.

I wouldn't say frequently (in my experience), but it occasionally happened. I used to use MTR but got away from it after all the surrounding drama. I use DVDFab now either through VMWare or on my PC.
Same boat here. I had too many failures with MTR. The only time I've had problems with DVDFab is if the disks looks like they had been used to polish concrete.
DVDFab is what didn't work for me this time, I'll have a look at the chapters to see if they are out of order as it was a Dizzney DVD. I did a quick hop through the DVD to see if it looked OK in DVD Player but didn't cycle thru the chapters.

Yep. Sounds like your problem is what dad@home describes. I've had that happen before. I usually rip the entire disk to my hard drive than choose the correct title in handbrake to encode. But I've had to resort or DVD player to see which title to encode. Neither DVDFab nor Handbrake always guess the right one.

I need something like DVD Player for my blu-ray rips. I ripped my Iron Man 2 copy using the default pick in handbrake. After playing it I realized it was some "enhanced" crap that had all these overlays and junk on it. So I had to re-encode.

95% of Blu Rays aren't a problem because they use a single large file. Iron Man 2 and a few others use almost 200 m2ts files, or more, strung together to show the movie. Those are a pain. Mac Blu Ray player http://www.macblurayplayer.com/ will plays those, but it is really software written around an open source player and it doesn't support BR menus. MPlayerX http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mplayerx/...1143?mt=12 will play m2ts files, but it does have a problem when a movie is distributed across multiple m2ts files.

My super cool dune smart b1 http://dune-hd.com/hd_players/current/13...rt-b1.html streams BR structures just fine. Menus and all.
