Hi Richard, Thanks for the response. Yes, xine works fine. I just start xine and then choose DVD from the gui. Up pops the movie's menu and off I go. No problems at all.
On the other hand dvdrip is struggling a bit. I may be usign it incorrectly for all I know. I'm just hittign buttons and hoping I'm doing it right. I have tried as both a user and as root and get the same failure. The failure point is different for different DVDs, but it's always the same basic message. In the 'Rip Title' tab I choose 'Read DVD table of contents'. It starts off, goes for 1 or more chapters and then does this: Job 'Probing - title #8' failed. Executed command: dr_exec tcprobe -H 10 -i /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 -T 8 && echo DVDRIP_SUCCESS; dr_exec dvdxchap -t 8 /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 2>/dev/null Last output was: libdvdread: Using libdvdcss version 1.2.8 for DVD access [tcprobe] DVD image/device libdvdread: Using libdvdcss version 1.2.8 for DVD access libdvdread: Could not open /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 with libdvdcss. libdvdread: Can't open /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 for reading (probe_dvd.c) failed to open DVD /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 [tcprobe] failed to probe source CHAPTER01=00:00:00.000 CHAPTER01NAME=Chapter 01 CHAPTER02=00:02:32.000 CHAPTER02NAME=Chapter 02 Do it again and it fails on the title block I guess: Job 'Determine number of titles' failed.
