Dan, I cannot tell you how grateful I am that you downloaded and looked at this. Kind of surprising, actually, as I didn't think anyone would actually go through the trouble of installing all the required tools. Your comments have inspired me in human spirit and unexpectedness. Wow, is all I can say. And we're already probably *way* off-topic for BLFS-Dev. (hmm, should RMLCopyDVD be a BLFS package?) :-) > This is one of the few things that I > only do in Windows because it's so much easier. Looks like a solid > solution. It does work kick ass. And what I like about it is that it only copies the VOB with the main stuff. All the cruft, fluff and extras on a DVD are stripped away. > Learning the autotools has in been my queue for quite some time, but > keeps getting pushed down the stack.

I always thought it was magic, not I realize it is just good tools. > OK, so back to the program.

This I will look into right now. I didn't do anything special with man pages other than default autotool installation. I will have to check it out and see what is up. > /etc/rmlcopydvdrc set a volue of DVD_RIP=not found since I don't > have it.

Additionally, I got lazy and didn't put checks in the script I should have, to eliminate what you got. > Single drive (READER=BURNER) didn't work correctly. I'll definitely be looking into this one. Thanks for the hack. I will see where I went wrong. I tried to test as methodically as possible, but there is only so much one guy can do with limited access to DVD hardware. Dan, again, I cannot tell you how grateful I am to you. To others who feel this is off-topic for BLFS-dev, I send my sincere apologies and ask for your suggestions on where to move this conversation. -- Randy rmlinux: [bogomips 3993.32] [GNU ld version 2.16.1] [gcc (GCC) 4.0.2] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.6] [Linux 2.6.14.3 i686] 19:18:43 up 7:56, 7 users, load average: 0.79, 0.35, 0.16 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
