<<<wondering if there is a solution??>>> I'm guessin' yes, but there is no good way to find the solution. I killed off one of my USB preamplifiers a couple of weeks ago with this error.

I'm pretty sure if you can't get the work off the DVD, then Audacity is pretty helpless. Audacity will not recognize transport stream MPEG2 in any event, so even if you do get the DVD ripped, you still have to demux the files and then convert them to WAV or MP3. IFO isn't a video file. That's one of...
