Put The Simpsons: Season 17 DVD to Transformer Pad

When I load the source The Simpsons: Season 17 DVD into Handbrake, it crashes. When I load into Mac the Ripper 2.66 and 3.0 r14, they both crash as well. I tried using Fairmount to make a drive of the disks, but again when I try to load into handbrake or mac the ripper, it still crashes. Does anyone have any ideas as to any other software I could try, or a better suggestion?
