Any idea why my tcprobe isn't supporting dvd reading? I have libdvdread
installed:
# tcprobe -H 10 -i /dev/dvd
(dvd_reader.c) no support for DVD reading configured - exit.
(iodump.c) unable to open directory "/dev/dvd"
# emerge -p libdvdread
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild R ] media-libs/libdvdread-0.9.4-r1
#
Do I need to do something special to the transcode compile options?

1) Try as root. Some programs like cdrecord-ProDVD simply won't work on
some devices unless you're root or sudo root.
2) Make sure /dev/dvd actually points to your device.

Doing it as root gives me the same error message. gmplayer /dev/dvd works
fine to play a DVD, so I think it's OK. Here is where it points:
% ls -la /dev/dvd
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Mar 3 14:27 /dev/dvd -> hdd

Do you have USE=dvdread for transcode (emerge -pv transcode)?

Well, if Richard's suggestion about USE=dvd-read does not work, make sure
the device is NOT mounted. Some dvd writers access hardware directly and
therefore mounts will mess with that. Otherwise, check the program's
usenet groups and bug reports.
Unfortunately, it's been my experience that for DVD authoring and anything
more than plain copying or burning files (i.e. most things beyond
mkisofs), linux is a lot of work. Best to have a M$ partition and use
whatever software you need for a particular task.

I got it working by setting the USE variable in package.use. Odd, it used
to work without needing that.

dvd::rip has worked well for me in the past for making divx files (via
transcode) from a DVD. For ripping a DVD9, compressing, and burning to
DVD5 I find that using DVD Shrink under wine works quite well.
