tyme Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 it's trying to create the directory /CHANGE_ME which can't be done as a regular user, you must be root. But, that directory is likely set in a config file somewhere and is meant to be changed so that it points to a directory in your home so that you can run it as a regular user. Try checking for a .dvdrip directory in your home directory, it may contain the config files where you should be able to edit it with a text editor to change that setting.

phunni Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 There is a .dvdriprc file in your home directory. Inside it look for: 'base_project_dir' => { 'value' => '/mnt/key', 'type' => 'dir', 'label' => 'Default data base directory' mine points to /mnt/key - point yours wherever you like, but make sure it has plenty of space - at least 6GB...
