I have my Laptop deadicated to my linux box. its a Fujitsu Nseries 2.7 Ghz 512MB ram 2xDVD burner 64Mb video.... 0/S=MDK10

OK. i have Wine installed and as far as I knew it was configed just fine. I heard you can Install DVD Shrink through wine and i tryed it but it wont let me rip the DVD. it says "FAILED TO INITIALIZE ASPI DEVICE" do i need a certin build of DVD Shrink? under the config file the device is set to /mnt/cdrom

thanks

You probably have to install ASPI on WINE

how would i do that? can you give me a link to do so? HELP!!!!!!! im not the smartest kid.

I dont know where to get the ASPI drivers, look around on the net for windows ASPI drivers and follow whatever instructions come with them.

I installed the ASPI drivers, but there is the same problem.

Hmmm well i assume DVD shrink is for ripping dvds or something so shouldnt the device be pointing to your dvd?

Anyway,

I tried many options and it does definitively not work.

Check this out, if you still cant get it to work id suggest using a native linux dvd program
http://linuxquestions.org/questions/history/133609

Thank you, dopefish, but, you can see, I also wrote there ...


A native Linux program is very nice. I used transcode and DVDRip for VCD and SVCD.
The big problem is, that this will do no authoring of DVDs and the biggest size is 2000 MB.

I do not know other native programs. Do you?

I could not get aspi to work under wine either, however DVD Shrink itself works fine (A testiment to the quality of the coding done by the author)

You can rip a mirror of the DVD to your hard drive using dvdbackup (http://dvd-create.sourceforge.net) and type "dvdbackup -M -i /dev/dvd -o /where/you/want/to/put/the/files". Then you open the files using "open files" in DVD Shrink.

The only other thing that doesn't work properly is the preview of files when you are choosing the options to backup. When the backup process begins preview works fine again. (This little part broke when the author changed from software render to directx, I suppose it might work with winex, but I've never bothered to try, as I never really used it in the first place. If you really need it, you can get DVD Shrink 3.0bx, where x is 1 through 7)

Hope this helps

Hi Jagaer,

I tried your suggestion.

I copied the whole DVD with dvdbackup to my HD.

With "Open Disk" Button I got the same ASPI error message. Indifferent, wheter with Wine-type "cdrom" or "hd".

With "Open File" DVDShrink is closing itself immediately and without any error message.

I guess, DVDShrink is the first and last win-program, I wanted to use the last 8 years. I resign.

Now I am searching for a real, native Linux-program to shrink these files ...

the 2000 meg limit is probably because of your filesystem.

dvdshrink is a sweet little superfast dvd recompressing and reauthoring program for windows. it's amazing how fast it can recompress a dvd. you can take out languages and subtitles and stuff you don't want very easily, and even cut off the credits if you want.

i haven't used it in a while, but i was having to use another program on the files after, to make a correct dvd image. then i could go back to linux, and burn the image.

if somebody is getting all these steps done in linux, they should post a quick outline.

so Jagaer is getting the dvd image to the hard drive with linux software. there are probably several ways that would work for that.
then running dvdshrink under wine. great that that works.
then what are you doing about the dvd image?

I don't understand why DVDShrink is closing automatically when you try "Open files", it imports properly using Crossover Office wine V.2.1.0.

If you want some debug output try running "wine --debugmsg +err DVD\ Shrink\ 3.1.exe" from your DVDShrink Directory.

DVDShrink v 1.7 allows you to create either a directory or an iso image as output. I usually choose iso image as that allows me to burn it directly to a DVD with k3b. However output as files can be handy if you need to remove prohibited user operations with IfoEdit.

I'm not sure if this answers your question, if it doesn't try to rephrase the question, and I'll se if I can help

i had dvdshrink 3.0 beta5, and it had no option for making an iso image. i just downloaded 3.1.7 and it does.
crossover office wine costs cash right?

i was having to use dvdshrink to create the files, then having to make the video_ts and audio_ts directories, and move the files into that, then an image creating program to make the iso image from the files, then booting to linux, and using dd to join the split up image, (before i read you could pipe the files together on the burn command line and it would work), and buring with cdrecord-Prodvd.

i guess this will get rid of several steps for me.

i see you can get a demo of crossover office. is that what you are using?

Hi,

I installed DVD-Shrink 3.1.7 and used debug-mode:

I changed all permissions on /usr/lib/wine, because it is linked to.

But, that didn't help anyway.
If I choose "Open File" and the folder, DVD-Shrink will close itself.
