RE: Filename restriction

I ran into the same problem on my PC. My dvd images are on an NTFS partition and I reboot into Ubuntu to use dvdrip. I mounted the windows partition in /media/ntfs_drive and then created a symbolic link pointing to the dvd image directory and linked it to a "dvdrip" directory. As long as the directory names after the symbolic link do not use spaced it should work.
 
here's what i did
mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/ntfs_drive
ln -s /media/ntfs_drive /temp/ripped_images /home/username/dvd_images
 
to get rid of the link use
unlink /home/username/dvd_images

Apparently dvd::rip doesnt allow whitespaces in directory and filenames, since it complains about: "> Data entered is invalid.
