I'm not sure ;) The executed commands are nearly identical, only that 
0.98.x adds "--print_status 25" to all transcode commands to reduce 
progress reporting overhead a bit. But since the transcode command 
itself works (when executed on a shell), I think we don't need to pay 
much attention to this.

Another, more interesting, difference is that dvd::rip 0.52 sets a magic
environment variable to workaround an old/strange Perl bug:

  PERLIO=stdio

Although I can't believe that this helps, please set this variable 
before starting dvd::rip 0.98 and try your luck:

  export PERLIO=stdio
  dvdrip

If it still doesn't work, I have to think about what we can do next. The
good thing is, we can reproduce the bug reliably, which is the most 
important part of the bug fixing process ;)
