   I have no problems with ripping to the native resolution of the video   
   file, the playback device upconverts.  I'm using Pavtube Video   
   Converter Ultimate, commercial software.  One-step process.    
      
   Considering that upconverting my standard definition movie DVDs did not   
   show any artifacting or stuttering, I'm blaming that all on the B5   
   disks Warner Bros produced.   
      
   I'm now almost done ripping season 4.   
      
   Oddity:  Seasons 2 and 4, don't know about 5 yet, the first episode on   
   each disk is actually the last episode on the disk's filesystem.  And   
   the disks have the episodes on there twice, once in a all-in-one movie,   
   and again as individual episodes.  And some of the ones with commentary   
   are actually on there THREE times, with an additional one with the   
   commentary.  On top of the fact that the commentary is available on the   
   secondary audio track of the first found copy of the episode.   
   Definitely not elegantly mastered.
