null Posted July 23, 2006 Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 Installed k9copy with urpmi. Installed dvdshrink with urpmi. Neither works. You would think that installing packages with urpmi would result in packages that work, but apparantly not. k9copy doesn't even load, it crashes immediately. Since was installed with urpmi, seems like whatever dependencies there are would have been taken care of. dvdshrink opens up just fine, and it looks like a nice simple interface. I have used dvdshrink & dvddecrypter alot in windows with no problem, but this one is obviously something completely different. So anyway, it loads up nicely, however when I click the various buttons.... Title Info "Get from DVD" it just pops up a blank dialog box. The other buttons do the same thing (nothing). It does get the name of the dvd correctly when I click that button First, how do you see what your DVD device is... what's the way to show it? Hopefully its just something simple like wrong dev (it starts up with "/dev/dvd" but maybe that's not right. Here's the errors: libdvdread: Using libdvdcss version 1.2.9 for DVD access libdvdread: Could not open /dev/dvd with libdvdcss. libdvdread: Can't open /dev/dvd for reading (iodump.c) unable to open directory "/dev/dvd" comments about any other burning/ripping software appreciated.

Steve Scrimpshire Posted July 23, 2006 Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 (edited) As far as k9copy, I have no idea (mine crashes too). As far as dvdshrink, what is the output of ls -l /dev/dvd ? (dvdshrink only operates in console mode for me....is there a commandline option for a graphical interface?)

scarecrow Posted July 23, 2006 Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 Do you mean DVDShrink 3.2 for Windows under Wine? It works perfectly (only the preview window is a bit jerky), with almost native speed (= very fast), but you need touching "winecfg" a bit before...

null Posted July 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 Steve & scarecrow - sorry for the confusion. I did #urpmi dvdshrink and what got installed is called "xdvdshrink". It appears to be a completely diff program than the dvdshrink in windows - I'm very familiar with the windows version. The way I found out about it is from the "other" dvdshrink thread, where someone told the original poster that dvdshrink was available in the urpmi repos. It looks like a really nice gui for ripping & optionally shrinking DVDs. Let me say that I very rarely do this stuff, but it is the ONLY thing I still do in windows that I don't know how to do in linux. After this problem is taken care of, there is no reason for me to have a "winblows" box at home.... :D lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Jul 21 20:49 /dev/dvd -> hdd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexicon Posted July 23, 2006 Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 If You can make copy dvd to dvd I use only console, dd if=/dev/hdc of=/home/user/dvd.img mkdir /kino mount -o loop /home/user/dvd.img /kino xine /kino k3b --dvdimage /home/user/dvd.img member maybe this is illegal. Look KLVEmkdvd. For dvdvideo on cd I use Gmencoder, Kmenc ....Lex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted July 23, 2006 Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 Normally, I use DVDShrink 3.2 for windows under wine. I know it's a "dirty" solution, but it works great. I had success with k9copy, but I *think* the transcoding quality of DVDShrink for windows is slighlty better- since my preference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
null Posted July 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 (edited) I don't want to use windoze progs under wine... so I'm trying out various open source progs. Bad luck with k9copy, crashes immediately. Don't even know what version I have since it won't even load. xdvdshrink looks nice, but I don't know if my "/dev/dvd" is correct. I just installed acidrip with urpmi, and it also looks nice. However, my bad luck is still holding true. acidrip is also using "/dev/dvd" but it is saying DVD not found. Drive empty? there is a DVD in the drive. k9copy, xdvdshrink, acidrip - strike 3, I'm out ? Edited July 23, 2006 by null Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 Just change it to something else instead. /dev/dvd should point to a drive on your system be it /dev/hdc or /dev/hdd. If you do: ls -l /dev/dvd you'll see where it's going. If you're really having problems, the most easiest way is check your /etc/fstab about. Depending on if you have one or two CD/DVD drives, then you'll have two entries of /dev/hdc or /dev/hdd. I use acidrip on my system, and even dvdshrink (Linux version), and both work perfectly well. I do remember the /dev/dvd error message, but I'm pretty sure I did what I just suggested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
null Posted July 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 yes, I had already tried others: it defaulted to /dev/dvd, but I tried it with /dev/hdd, and also /mnt/cdrom. DVDshrink (the linux version) always says that "it appears there is no DVD there..." The buttons for Get Subtitle Info, and Get Audio Stream Info actually work (they read the disk and return the proper info) when I use /mnt/cdrom. But then when you say Start Copy, it says there's no DVD... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 I'll have to check when I get on my computer next. I think there is a button you need to click first to read the track info on the disk before choosing start copy. Maybe this is why you get the error message, but I'm unsure. I do remember getting this error, just not sure what I did now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
null Posted July 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 thanks ian. I was able to get the track info already - depending on what I had the dvd device set as... some settings got the track info, some would not... even if it got the track info, it still gave errors about no dvd, or "could not open dvd with css..."

Gul Dukat Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 (edited) I'm having no problem with K9copy here what so ever. Just being curious, what version are you running? I'm running 1.0.4-1.2006mcnl Edited July 24, 2006 by Gul Dukat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
null Posted July 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 (edited) what version are you running? I don't know how to tell what version I'm running of k9copy. It won't even load up, so I can't click "About k9copy". Is there another way to tell? steve mentioned his crashes also. when I get home, I'll try it from cmd line to see any messages... edit: on some other boards, many people have said that dvdshink (the linux version "xdvdshrink") results in better quality than k9copy. I would still like to be able to run k9copy though. Edited July 24, 2006 by null Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
