Description

When I try to rip a certain DVD, Arista just stops after half of the film (when the file has ~700MiB) without showing an error message of any kind (no console output at the time it stops). The DVD itself works perfectly (i.e. I can watch it in totem).

Research direction

Start by reproducing the DVD-ripping failure described in the issue and inspect the available console output when processing stops near 700 MiB. Trace the DVD ripping and transcoding entry points to identify where the operation exits, then verify that the failure reports a useful error instead of stopping silently.
