11.0 dvd rip issues

i have been having an issue with ripping any dvd since installing 11.0 well a few issues actually. k3b will no longer open the rip dvd dialogue, worked fairly well with 10.3(with a few exceptions based on the media i believe) MEncode returns a message that it was user interupted but refuses to say how this interuption occured, i have tinkered endlessly with options but always the same message.

so my question is simple, am i missing some crucial package to make either of these work, if so does anyone have a list of the packages needed. or do i need to take a different tact on how i rip dvd’s?

any help would be greatly appreciated
