So the parent (excuse my lack of knowledge) is still waiting..

I cannot continue on and say, burn the audio disc, until I am sure all the wav files have been created.. Again to Nicolas: Doing some further testing, I actually get 'backup complete' messages when I rip in trakc mode tccat with dvdbackup.py. So i think whatever its doing is working.. Its only when trying to rip with subtitles that it hangs, something is reporting that its not done.. And bruno, if your watching ;-): DVD writing works.. However, menu status willnot change from 'stop' to fresh write again without first stopping.. I think this is to do with defunct-ness.. Anyone else running gentoo and kenrel 2.6.7? Can I you respond I'd love to do some testing with you...
