Ripped DVD Video Playback Stutters, original DVD does not I have a DVD of home video made from a VHS that I'm trying to rip so I can post it to YouTube. I've ripped a couple of videos using both Mac DVDRipper Pro and Handbrake to compare the output after I noticed some stuttering in my first rip. The videos from both apps have stutters in the same spots but the stuttering doesn't exist when I play the disc in DVD Player.

It's not often, sometimes every couple of minutes for just a moment. Other times it will go 5 to 8 minutes without any stutter. I've noticed momentary sound dropping out for these stutters in both QuickTime and in QuickLook, and also just now in VLC. It's nothing major but annoying and something I'd like to fix seeing as the source DVD doesn't have these playback issues.

Could extracting the DVD as a disc image first and ripping that solve the stuttering playback?

I'm ripping from the optical drive in my 27" iMac under Mavericks. Any help would be appreciated.
It sounds like the framerate of the rip doesn't match the framerate of the DVD. I would check if those match. The QuickTime Inspector can do this or a great tool called MediaInfo.
