Hiho, at first, sorry that answering to this bug took some time, but I had to upgrade one of my Ubuntu workstations to Karmic first and of course had to take time to reproduce this bug somehow...
My diagnostics so far: - I think what happens here, is that transcode can't copy all frames from the title to the harddisk, resp. the number of frames announced in the TOC (Table of Content) of the DVD differs too much from the number of frames grabbed by transcode. - dvd::rip can't do anything against the short ripping itself, but there was a bug that this was not reported as an error, instead the job just appeared to be hanging. The short ripping could be a transcode / libdvdread issue, probably it depends on the DVD and may be some nasty copy protection which uses malformed information in the DVD TOC. Unfortunetaly dvd::rip relies on proper operation of transcode here and in particular has no code (and never will have) to circumvent any copy protection. - The bug was not in dvd::rip itself, but in a Perl module used by dvd::rip (Event::ExecFlow). Happily enough both share the same author ;) - Please use v0.64 of Event::ExecFlow which is available here: http://www.exit1.org/packages/Event-ExecFlow/dist/Event- ExecFlow-0.64.tar.gz I recommend installing it this way (to prevent conflicts with the version installed to your system directories), as a normal user - not root! % perl Makefile.PL INSTALL_BASE=~/myperl % make test % make install Then modify your environment this way: % export PATH=~/myperl/bin:$PATH % export PERL5LIB=~/myperl/lib/perl5 And start dvd::rip from command line: % dvdrip Now you should get the "ripping short" error message, an immediately aborted job and a properly working dvd::rip afterwards (no hanging). - As well I have made a preliminary build of dvd::rip, which turns the "ripping short" error into a warning, so the ripping process continues and the user can decide whether the missed frames are critical or not. Get it from here: http://www.exit1.org/dvdrip/dist/dvdrip-0.98.11_01.tar.gz (this is preliminary because 0.98.11 will contain more stuff which has accumulated on my harddisk and probably will be released during x-mas vacation) I recommend to install it as well to your home directory as with Event::ExecFLow: % perl Makefile.PL INSTALL_BASE=~/myperl % make test % make install Then always start dvd::rip this way: % export PATH=~/myperl/bin:$PATH % export PERL5LIB=~/myperl/lib/perl5 % dvdrip - If you want to get rid of this extra Event::ExecFlow and dvd::rip installation just remove the ~/myperl directory. Please report here whether these diagnostics are true for your cases and whether the newer versions now work as expected.
