I was trying to follow the guide on the DVD to WMV (intended for PPC) sticky thread and I have a question/problem.
I have completely burned a DVD movie (yes I own it) with DVD Shrink. When I open Windows Media Encoder and begin setting it up, I notice that it only goes for ~21 minutes before it quits. I checked in the Mark In/Mark Out area and found that it is set that way. Huh?!?!? I have also actually run the program and it stops at that ~21 minute time (which, on The Matrix, is where the "mirror" is climbing up to his neck...lol). I can't figure out how to change it so that it encodes the whole movie.
This the first time I've attemped doing this and am a little confused.

I'm having a little trouble figuring out what you mean by this, if you can clarify what you have done I can probably help you out. Have you checked that the burnt disc plays correctly as The Matrix is one of the most annoying movies to rip especially for someone that's not familiar with the process.

What I mean is that, as the movie is rolling along, being encoded, the counter is also going along so I can tell at what chronological place the movie gets to before the process craps out.
And this is not a burned disc that I'm ripping. I own it and it has only been played once or twice. It is fine.
As far as clarifying, I think I was specific in my first post as to what I've done. What specifically are you wanting me to recant?
