Does anything make any sense?

Well, we've established that /dev/sr0 is indeed your DVD drive.

mint may or may not also have created symlinks to it by the names
of /dev/cdrom and/or /dev/dvd.

Either way - armed with that info you should be able to use
cdparanoia and mencoder just fine.

Code:

mencoder -dvd-device /dev/sr0 <other options here>

I just had another look at cdparanoia's man-page, and there was
some changes since I last used it :}

Apparently it does perform autosensing these days - try it w/
the -Q switch.

Cheers,
Tink

Thank you, Tinkster, for all the help you've provided.
I was just considering switching to Slackware, but now
I am in a dilemma!

Tinkster · 02-02-2011, 11:03 AM

Just stick w/ what you enjoy unless you have need for some
thrill or a hunger for learning :}

Aquarius_Girl · 02-02-2011, 10:50 PM

I expected you to encourage me to use Slackware, but
instead you gave a realistic answer

Anyway, I have already started to create my own tagfile,
I am just not finding enough time to complete the process.

Even if I continue with Mint, I'll have to uninstall ALL
the unwanted already installed software, which may be a difficult
job!

LOL. OK, use Slackware. It rocks; a little story I like to tell
is that after 2 years of Suse I knew some Suse. Switching to Slack
I learnt more about Linux in 3 months than I did with Suse & Mandrake
(as it was called back then) in many years.

Cheers,
Tink

I hope I am wrong but if you do a full install of Slackware, then you don't have anything left to do yourself, then how do people say that they learn Linux through it?

Tinkster · 02-02-2011, 11:09 PM

Because it won't partition the HDD, it won't set-up a user, it won't
automatically set you up to boot into a GUI, it won't ... it won't ... :}

And even a full install has substantially less packages than many
other distros, plus lots of stuff people really want on top of the
full install will have to either be built from source, or snapped
up from some 3rd party websites.

Tink

Okay then, a final thanks to you for all the help, this thread should be considered solved now.
