Please try the following workaround:

1. disable "Workaround transcode NPTL bugs" in dvd::rip

2. create a file named "transcode" in a directory $HOME/bin
   with the following content:

   #!/bin/bash
   export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5
   PROG=$(basename $0)
   exec /usr/bin/$PROG $@

   #-- change the path prefix above, if your transcode
   #-- binaries are installed somewhere else

3. add symlinks to this file for the other transcode tools:

   % cd $HOME/bin
   % for file in tcextract tcdecode tcscan tcdemux tccat avimerge avisplit 
tcmodinfo
   > do
   > ln -s transcode $file
   > done

4. put $HOME/bin in your PATH and start dvd::rip

   % export PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH
   % dvdrip

Now the LD_ASSUME_KERNEL magic is applied only to the executed transcode
commands. Please send feedback whether this workaround solves the 
problem or not.

Joern
