Re: [dvd::rip] can't make dvdrip to work using ubuntu edgy

Well I think this is more a dvdrip / transcode problem than an ubuntu one, since I have the same problem on my previous distro, Mandriva 2005LE, with the same versions of the software... maybe someone on this ML could give us a hint ?? I can do some debugging with some more clues...

Bye

Hello everybody,

I recently installed Ubuntu edgy and can't make dvdrip to work. I
supposed there is a problem with
transcode itself, however I wanted to ask in this mailing list first,
it might be somebody already
knows the solutions for this problem.

Any operation involving transcode (preview grabbing, transcoding,
volume analyzing and so on) freezes dvdrip. Processes like tccat
happily sit in memory forever and
never finish. You can't just kill them by pressing a button from
dvdrip or issuing simple kill
command. You have to apply kill -KILL to them.

Now the strange thing is that if I try to execute the commands as
dvdrip tries to execute them they
might freeze or might finish appropriately. I could not figure out
when transcode would freeze.
Nevertheless, dvdrip ALWAYS freezes. The command that is shown below
as an example freezes all the
time in dvdrip, however, it gets executed from the command prompt
properly.

I hope I'm not the only one who has this problem, if somebody know the
solution to the problem,
please, help!

As you see it is never 100% done. Now if I see my processes:

21094 ?        S      0:00 sh -c mkdir -m 0775 -p

21109 ?        SN     0:04 tcextract -t vob -a 0 -x pcm -d 0

in order to finish the task i need to
killall -KILL tccat

thanks,
