Re: RIP Title - Read Content

So it appears that the program does not function on 64 bit Linux??
I also get error on trying to press the eject or load disc buttons
e.g. the Open DVD tray gives:
An internal exception was thrown!
The error message was:

Can't call method "project" on an undefined value at 
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/Video/DVDRip/GUI/Project/Title.pm line 435.

Similar message on the Close DVD tray.
Also my DVD drives are both IDE not SATA.
Any other guru types who can shed some light?
I need to be able to clip 2 minutes out of a 43 minute .vob file - what 
else can I use?
Kind regards
Rob
