Wine, K9copy and Dvd Decrypter
 

:hattip:Hi:

I knew nothing about Wine until I read these websites.

Should I install K9Copy or DVD Decrypter? Does it matter?

I found K9Copy at:
http://k9copy.sourceforge.net/web/index.php/en/download
But it is in a .tar.gz; K9copy-2.3.8-Source.tar.gz
I don't have any experience with a tar.gz

It's compressed so I have to extract it right?

Thanks in advance

Wine is a way to use some windows apps on linux. It gets better and better but still can't run every windows .exe .com file.

The k9copy is source for linux so you don't need wine.

Is there a .deb file for k9copy available from some software source?

As far as I know there is not a .deb file for K9Copy.
I found it in tar.gz form only and
Thanks for telling me that I don't need Wine if I use k9copy-

Any way; once synaptic install's this application do I need to run anything in the terminal in order
for this application to run?

Generally the best way to install programs is to use your distro's software manager. I'd think that k9copy would be shown in menu on gui.

Your right. I found kpcopy in my Software Center.
So; I really don't need to use Synaptic.

Thanks Jefro!

You might need to get some packages, or you might not. Mostly the extra packages are required to rip to some formats.

If you do need extra pacakges, you can probably get them from synaptic (or software centre, if you like it).

Thanks Cascade:

I might need some packages-to-be-able-to-rip:hattip:
