Hello, just wondering if there is any GUI type program that I can use to copy/rip a DVD to my hard drive?
Thanks

i use dvdshrink, its a windows app but i have it working perfectly with WINE, check out this thread

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...vdshrink+never

we all put in our 2 cents and im sure you will get it working. its not hard to do providing you read it all.

dvdshrink supports authoring options so you can cut out subtitles and extra features to save space

Actually, I was able to get it going just a few minute ago. I installed vobcopy and downloaded the DVD to my harddrive then did a "open with" on the ifo file and selected my Wine installation of dvdshrink and it oppened no problem, then finished the transcodng. Does vobcopy do decrypting? if not then I could skip a step and just open the ifo right off the dvd into DVDshrink. If I run into an encrypted dvd then I might have a problem if vobcopy doesn't decrypt. I cannot get K3b working, the cursor flickers for a bit then nothing. Any other proram from burning DVD's?

dvdshrink can read directly off and decrypt the dvd. providing your WINE settings are correct

eg
drives properly set up in ~/.wine/dosdevices and
"Windows" = "winxp" in the config file

When did DVDshrink include it's own built-in decryption algorithm for CSS encrypted DVD's? I always thought you had to use the ANYDVD program do decrypt on the fly?

why do people insist on trying to run everything through wine????

not sure when dvdshrink started doing this, but ever since i have been using it (few months)

many people think the same, that you need another app to decrypt. dont know why

as far as acid_kewpie goes ill give acid a go, i allways prefer to steer clear of win apps when possible.
