[gentoo-user] DVD:rip problem

[Thierry de Coulon]

Hello,

I'm using DVD:rip on a Mepis/Debian installation with no problem. I don't 
remeber exactly the versions of DVD:rip and transcode, but it just plain 
works.

On my new Gentoo install DVD:rip starts OK, but then all goes wrong: ripping 
fails with message "could not read this frame", then transcode simply won't 
work with any codec (but this may just mean it can't handle what's been 
ripped).

Ad mentioned, ripping and encoding works with Mepis (same DVD, same drives, 
same hardware). Any idea what could be wrong?

Check the logs, and run the last command it did manually (the whole lot, mkdir 
blahblahblah && cd blahblahblah && dr_exec blah... etc), and tell us if you 
get a glibc error.

Could also be a permission problem.
What are the permissions on your dvd device (not the mount point, the 
device!)?
