311950 2005-01-08 04:28:00 Hey,

Can anyone reccomend a good DVD ripping/encoding program with a decent GUI for linux. I've been having no end of problems setting up dvd::rip....

It keeps saying my dvd-rom drive /dev/hdc is not writeable, and that it cant find the rar command.

I've downloaded 'rar' from the website "rarlnx271.sfx.bin" but can't figure out how to install it.

Cheers.

chmod -R 777 /dev/hdc

I personally like dvdbackup:
SuperNova root # esearch dvdbackup
[ Results for search key : dvdbackup ]
[ Applications found : 1 ]

* media-video/dvdbackup
Latest version available: 0.1.1-r1
Latest version installed: 0.1.1-r1
Size of downloaded files: [no/bad digest]
Homepage: http://dvd-create.sourceforge.net/
Description: Backup content from DVD to hard disk

Simply:
dvdbackup -i /dev/hdc -o ./dvdname -v 2 -F

:)


Chill.
