I've never found a gui dvd ripper that I really liked. I just transcode
the vob files by hand.

not sure about the frame dropping... did you try x264 as suggest
earlier?
here's the mencoder options I used to transcode some dv. I've found
with mencoder, the best way is to try lots of times, and see what works
the best. (Only try a minute at a time, or you'll end up waisting a lot
of time :)
mencoder -oac lavc -ovc lavc -of mpeg -mpegopts format=dvd -vf
scale=720:576,harddup -srate 48000 -af lavcresample=48000 -lavcopts
vcodec=mpeg2video:vrc_buf_size=1835:vrc_maxrate=9800:vbitrate=5000:keyint=15:acodec=ac3:abitrate=192:aspect=4/3
-ofps 25 -o tape3/2006.06.30_14-57-41.mpeg tape3/2006.06.30_14-57-41.dv
This was after some playing around to get to mpeg2 to burn later to dvd.

dunno... try leaving of the "pass" option and see?
