It happens that VLC won’t rip your DVD sometimes or give you a scrambled/choppy/incomplete output file. The causes of these errors are varied. But there are some tricks you can try to fix them.

1. Update your VLC to the latest version;
2. Reboot your system;
3. Choose a different output profile, such as MP4;

If the error persists, your DVD could be the problem. Check whether your DVD is scratched or damaged. If your DVD is purchased from a store, the DRM protection could also be the culprit.
