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

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.

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!
