All tried direct from DVD & with a copy from HDD.

Preset:

Audio LC-AAC, Resample & Bit Depth Original
Container MP4
Crop 0:0:712:576

I want to convert my favourite series, Season 3 & 4 working well some higher seasons looks ok too, but Season 5 & 6 is making problems.
At first i tried the add track method.
All Tracks are twice in, chapters are correct shown, added whole track.
But after adding the files, 412 - 500 KB Size, 0 Sec duration, not playable from mediacoder - just a short popup. (Filename dvd://1 but no detail informations if I press F8)
I cant use the ifo method here, because for all files I want there is just one ifo (150KB) and i think that is the problem? (the ifo is not playable from mc too)

What did I tried to solve this?
Searching here for "DVD error/problem", "DVD decrypter", "DVD converting", found Extra Codecs Pack but seems down, found a post where someone said its in full Version - iam using.
Tried to update to the newest version, the last was 2 month old, sry didnt wrote down which version it was.
Tried uninstall and reinstall.

And one additional question, if the crf is to high and dark areas are looking like mountains on a map with altitude difference, is there a special name for it? (Thats why I use CRF 18)

I would be glad if you would help me, thanks for the time you already spend.
