I'm sure this has been dealt with before by a whole bunch of people, but I searched the forum and didn't find a mention of it anywhere. I'm having some trouble ripping the Cowboy Bebop DVDs (the ones from the boxed set, if it matters) with SmartRipper. I was able to get episodes off of the 4th Session disc with no problem, but SmartRipper froze up and died when I tried to get stuff off the 1st Session disc. Does anyone know why? Also, Bandai seems to have encoded the DVDs in a far more complicated manner than necessary, which may explain why each episode has 8 or 9 chapters, instead of the 6 it should have. I think that chapters 2, 3 and 4 are the ones to rip if you just need the episode itself, and not the titles or preview. Am I right?
