B&W Freeze Frame and Audio Snafu

Hi,

I have been using Handbrake for some time now with great results but today something strange happened and I thought I'd see if anyone else has seen this.

I put the new Simpsons Movie into Handbrake to put it on my ipod and used the the default settings as always. However, every 20 minutes or so the film freezes to a black and white frame and the audio goes haywire pulling tracks from earlier in the film. This lasts for about 60-90 secs then the movie returns to normal.

Any thoughts would be appreciated. My sys info is:

Same issue here. Used the AppleTV settings, with an average bitrate of 3000 kbps.

Exact same system specs as above.

I had the same problem until I noticed this...

Title 2 - shows up automatically with a time of 01h41m25s

but if you play the movie in DVD Player, it is Title 1 that is playing.

so select Title 1 - which has a time of 01h26m43s (which happens to also be the same length of the movie)

It almost looked deliberate... How the picture FADES to grayscale and the audio jumps back to near the start of the movie, plays for a bit, then color fades back in and the movie continues. Happens three times. Weird.

But yeah, use the slightly shorter title and you don't get that.

I have a different problem- I can get the movie to rip completely and plays fine untill the part where homer is on the ice and it goes to a fake intermission-the audio jumps back to where they enter the church at the start-I have tried to re-rip it but nothing changes-can someone give me some advice?
