--- Comment #7 from Jim <jspeter at jimsara.org> ---
Actually, transcode worked fine for me after I patched it as per this:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/transcode/+bug/1099201

Doing so allowed me to successfully rip my Firefly and Serenity DVDs.

Because of this, I think it would better serve the users to keep transcode
until a replacement is implemented.  If you wish, you could emit a warning that
the external tool may crash, but to disable it because it's buggy without
guiding the user to a suitable replacement is more a reduction in
functionality... especially when the message pops up to ensure that it is
installed.

You could adjust that message to say "DVD ripping is temporarily disabled...
use XYZ, instead".
