dvd rippers
 

Hi.
Just wondering about dvd ripping/decoding software for Linux.
Under Windows I used a nifty program called DVD Decrypter to extract DVD's so they could
be played directly from my computer. I have downloaded a copy of DVD::Rip but I am currently having a hard time installing it. Is their an alternative to it.

Thanks very much for your help.

I am currently running Slackware 10 with the 2.6.10 kernel.

Acidrip: developed by LinuxQuestions.org's own acid_kewpie; mencoder based

DVD::rip: transcode based

Plenty.

acidrip is a great choice, it uses mplayer/mencoder to rip the DVD and is very feature rich and works great, highly configurable.

mythdvd, a plugin for mythtv also does a very nice job, and is extremely easy to use, but restrictive in it's options (pretty much, put DVD in, choose quality, start rip, not a whole lot of settings to tweak, bad for power user, good for average joe).

Check out http://freshmeat.net it's got more than my fingers can handle.

:)

Cool

he he he :D

Quick note though, the user said they have tried DVD::rip ;)

Cool

hey thanks for the replys guys.
I tried acidrip but got the same installation problem I did with dvd::rip.

it looks something like the following;
I get this message just after I type acidrip command.

Can't locate strict.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.4/i486-linux /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.4 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.4/i486-linux /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.4 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl .) at /usr/bin/acidrip line 7.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/bin/acidrip line 7.

Its certaintly a perl error, cant just work it out though.
I have installed the stable release of perl version 5.8.6 but nothing.

Thanks
Hope you guys are more switched on then me.

Which distro are you running?

Also, how are you trying to execute the above?

Cool

Hi.
After unpacking the program I;
./configure
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install

I did this for all perl programs but get the same error.
I am currently running Slackware 10.0, with Perl 5.8.6, on Linux 2.6.10 Kernel.

Thanks again guys.

strict is a built-in module for perl, forcing people to write code well.

First of all, try:

find / -name "strict.pm" -ls

If that returns anything (it will take a while), then recompile perl, adding the directory containg strict into @INC.

Otherwise, shoot off to http://search.cpan.org/src/NWCLARK/p.../lib/strict.pm and copy the whole of it into /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.4/strict.pm . Then run:

chmod 444 /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.4/strict.pm

Hope this helps!
