Hi,
I am getting this error when I try to backup my video dvd:

linux:/usr/lib # dvdbackup -Mi /dev/hdb -o /home/gill/backup/
libdvdread: Using libdvdcss version 1.2.8 for DVD access
dvdbackup: error while loading shared libraries: dvdbackup: undefined symbol: UDFFindFile

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks

this looks like a missed dependency, i'd strongly advise compiling this from source and then one way or another this shouldn't be possible

Alright, I downloaded and tried to install from the source and got this, where my libdvdread is in /usr/lib:

linux:/home/gill/dvdbackup/src # gcc -o dvdbackup -I /usr/lib/libdvdread/include -L /usr/lib/libdvdread/lib -ldvdread dvdbackup.c

I also tried this command:

gcc -o dvdbackup -I /usr/lib/include -L /usr/lib/lib -ldvdread dvdbackup.c

but I got the same error again. Is there no other option but to use dvdbackup? If i just drag and drop both folders from my dvd, would that work. Many thanks acid_kewpie.. keep up the good work.

hmm, ok well i'd only really be left thinking you're either not inlucding everything you should be OR you have a different set of headers to the actual library version of libdvdread...

should've stuck with acidrip!

I am having the same problem with dvdbackup , even though i complied it from source!!!!!

It worked for me when I used DVD shrink, I couldnt get any linux native DVD ripping program to work on my machine after two days of work. DVD shrink is a windows programs that works perfectly with wine and it took me 10 mins to get that going. Good Luck!

How did u manage to get dvdshrink working 100% under suse? I would really be interested.

download it and you need to change configuration settings for wine in order to make it run.. check the message boards. .. I dont remember exactly as it has been a while.

The latest version of libdvdread (0.9.5) has a bug that causes the problem with "UDFFindFile" not found. I downloaded and compiled 0.9.4 from the source. The problem is gone.
