Re: RIP Title - Read Content

Hi Tim,

Funny - hope its just co-incidence, I too am running on CentOS 5.2 Plus
- x86_64 version that also runs mythtv. MythTV also uses transcode,
although I don't use that part of it, I keep my recordings in HD
(~5GB/Hr).

I know tcprobe is available, but when I look at the help, I'm lost -
video is new to me and all the options and jargon don't yet make a lot
of sense to me.

All I want to do, is extract two minutes out of a DVD chapter, to use
as a clip for promotion of the DVD.

I have managed to rip the chapter .vob file onto my hard drive with all
the DRM / encryption rubbish taken care of by using some command line
program (forgotten what it was, and not in front of the machine to
check), I was hoping to use DVD:RIP to assist me with the transcode bit
and extraction bit.....

All getting too hard, maybe I'll look around for some other solutions.

Kind regards

Rob

Rob,

I have run into the same thing. So far I have not received any
assistance. If you hear anything please let me know what you find out.

I have gone as far as re-installing my OS (centos 5.2), down-reving
dvd::rip and it's dependencies, using 3 different dvdrom drives, and
reading the vtoc without lsdvd. All with no success.

I agree with you though, I believe it has something to do with tcprobe
(which is bundled with transcode). I guess there is a forum for
transcode but I have yet to look into it.

Just out of curiosity, what flavor of linux are you using?

I have a new install of dvd:rip that appears to be complete and intact,
however when I load a DVD and select the RIP Title tab and then press
the "Read DVD table of contents" button I get the following in the log

nothing else and it stalls
The job plan and progress window shows
Read TOC (lsdvd|tcprobe) 0.00% finished
Read TOC (lsdvd) 0.00%, elapsed 15:22
Read TOC (tcprobe) Waiting

I try the lsdvd command in a terminal and it works fine
I suspect that it is the tcprobe that fails, but I do not know the
syntax or what I'm looking for

some pointers as to where to look next??
I am probably missing something obvious......
Thanks and kind regards
Rob
