credit goes to jpl who tipped me off that changing win2k or winxp to nt40 is all that is required to get DVD Decrypter working without SCSI emulation using STPI - Microsoft.

Now I can rip a DVD in 15 mins and burn a DVD in 8 mins with DMA enabled. Also this keeps dvd players from getting confused with /media/cdrecorder etc....keeps the /media/cdrom.

I am new to DVD shrink, decrypter and wine. Some where in the process of following the instructions posted here...

http://mrbass.org/linux/ubuntu/dvdshrink/

...I must have chosen to run as Win98. I don't know if that's what's causing me troubles but I can't select...

Make sure in DVD Decrypter Setttings under I/O tab STPI - Microsoft is checked

...STPI - Microsoft because it's greyed out and I get an error message when running DVD Decryptor that tells me "know device selected"

HelP?

two things must be true for you to be able to select STPI and for it to find a device.

1) in your [Version] section of .wine/config it must say nt40 not win98, not win2k or winxp.

2) your dosdevice symlinks must be correct. Did you do the following?
cd .wine/dosdevices
rm d:
ln -s /media/cdrom d:

You can test it by sticking a dvd in your drive and open dvdshrink and click 'Open Disc' it should show you the drive with the volume name of the dvd.

Do you have a dvd-rom and a dvd-burner on your system perhaps? Did you previously have SCSI emulation setup? If so do the following:
remove ide-scsi from /etc/modules
remove hdd=ide-scsi in kernel line in /boot/grub/menu.lst
and obviously remove your symlink to /media/cdrecorder

Hello,

I installed wine following the howto, but when i run winesetup i get this after i clicked finish at th command prompt:

CBase::AutoConf:GetWinInstalls: unable to grep /media/windows/msdos.sys: child process exited abnormally

nowi ignored that and downloaded dvd decrypter, started it up with wine and i get nicely the setup from Dvd Decrypter, then when i get to the window installing, a window appears with the following text:

Error opening file for writing

c:\program files\DVD Decrypter\DVDDecrypter.exe

I solved: it was auto to my excisting windows NTFS partition!!!!

Abort,ignore or Retry

Whats wrong, can anyone help me?

native ways of dvd backups :)
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/answers.php?action=viewarticle&artid=308
http://developer.berlios.de/projects/lxdvdrip/
*cough*
I'm trying these methods atm, I'll let you know how it goes.

the first method worked flawlessy on ubuntu, takes longer to do the backup compared to dvd decrypter/dvd shrink. Im planning on writing a script to automate this whole process. (btw just use gnome baker instead of k3b as suggested in the guide)

Lxdvdrip on the other was a real pain to get running, works exactly the same, but I wouldnt bother with it.

I'm wondering... I'm running a clean Hoary, with universe and marillat, But I can't install transcode. This is a known dependency problem. How can you say it works flawlessly? What's your secret?

(In short: transcode depends on libvorbis0 which was replaced with libvorbis0a...)

:| You've got me there, I can't remember how I got it to install, just remember I'm very new to linux.
But here's proof:

Also I do believe Properties|Force Version played a part in getting this to work.

After following this procedure and failing, I did or checked the following:

two things must be true for you to be able to select STPI and for it to find a device.

1) in your [Version] section of .wine/config it must say nt40 not win98, not win2k or winxp.

2) your dosdevice symlinks must be correct. Did you do the following?
cd .wine/dosdevices
rm d:

Do you have a dvd-rom and a dvd-burner on your system perhaps? Did you previously have SCSI emulation setup? If so do the following:
remove ide-scsi from /etc/modules
remove hdd=ide-scsi in kernel line in /boot/grub/menu.lst
and obviously remove your symlink to /media/cdrecorder

DVD Shrink will show the DVD when I click on the 'Open Disc' button.

But DVD Decrypter still gives me an 'No Devices Detected' error in the source box.

Help!

Hey all: Once I pulled my head out and ACTUALLY CAREFULLY READ the instructions I saw a key step I had missed at first.

It all works as claimed, and works well, I might add.

Has anyone gotten this to work on Ubuntu x86_64?

mrbass

May 26th, 2005, 04:00 PM

one guy is using Fedora Core 3 AMD64, kernel 2.6.11 SMP, WINE 20050419 and can't get any device detected.

Another guy is using LFS 2.6.11, SMP, WINE 20050419 and says it detects it but only if the dvd is mounted. A third guy says same thing only if it's mounted it'll detect the device Gentoo 2.6.12-rc4 WINE lastest CVS version.

So I think it's not the kernel, nor SMP.....64-bit...could very well be. Could just be getting wine to compile in 64-bit.

Now (this is very important and I don't think most bother doing it just glance over it in my guide) but put a dvd in cdrom0 and put a dvd in cdrom1 and then install DVD Decrypter which will create all your /dosdevices symlinks correctly.
What if you only have one dvd/cd drive?

synaptic revolt

May 28th, 2005, 01:42 PM

cdrom0 is a DVD-ROM and cdrom1 is DVD burner?
first remove your wine installation and start over
rm -rf .wine/

Now (this is very important and I don't think most bother doing it just glance over it in my guide) but put a dvd in cdrom0 and put a dvd in cdrom1 and then install DVD Decrypter which will create all your /dosdevices symlinks correctly.

Also someone mentioned some issue with have windows partition wine wanted to install there or something. Not sure why those with windows even are trying to get dvdshrink and dvddecryptper in linux working unless they're planning to nuke their windows soon.

I believe cdrom0 is my dvd burner, and cdrom1is my cdrw. I did have a dvd in the drive when installing decrypter, but I'll try it again. Also, I'm using winetools to setup wine, the normal wineconfig doesn't make any wine directories or anything.

I'm not using it under windows because I can't get grub to boot the windows partition, and anyway I'd rather get this working because I don't want to go back to windows if I can help it.

Because otherwise nothing can install, there's no fake_windows, no drive_c, etc. How do I get them installed without it?

This is from the guide

sudo apt-get update

winesetup Just press NEXT twice, then FINISH

Running winesetup creates the .wine/fake_windows, etc. Your dosdevices symlinks will be created as soon as you insert a DVD and setup DVD Decrypter for the first time.

Now you have a windows dual boot ntfs partition so maybe you have to specifically tell it not to install there but rather to your ext3 home directory instead since NTFS is not writable.

My problem doesn't seem to have been ran into yet.

Everything seems to work as far as seeing my DVD drive, accessing it, etc. All looks well except this.

You know the window that pops up when it wants you to select a directory? That one just has "Desktop" listed and won't let me expand it to select anything else. If it's trying to have me select a file, it works fine.

This happens in both programs. A good way to see what I'm talking about is in DVD Shrink.

Click on the Open File button and in that window where I should be able to expand the directory tree...it just won't do it so I can't actually complete the whole process.

Tips?

dvdshrink in wine
open disc image (rip to .iso)
open disc (insert dvd and rip decrypt with dvdshrink)

open files (does not work in wine)
if you wish to rip all files to hd
wine .wine/fake_windows/Program\ Files/DVD Shrink\DVDShrink.exe D:\MOVIE\VIDEO_TS

the above path is from my head so most likely not 100% correct but you get the idea.

SNo0py

June 1st, 2005, 02:38 AM

open files (does not work in wine)
Yeah, which is a bit bad - but you can just open the disc directly anyways... in my opinion it should not be too hard to fix the file-select dialog... maybe someone could raise this bug to the wine-developers? Or maybe we just need the right DLL?

btw, another problem, the startup time of DVDShrink is very slow - after running the command "wine DVD\ Shrink.exe" it takes more than two minutes until DVDshrink shows up, the same applies for DVD Decrypter. Any ideas?

Not sure why yours opens in two minutes. DVD Shrink and DVD Decrypter opens immediately. You got me stumped there.

btw, Lightning UK said he's gonna make an option to 'select drives' so in the next version most likely win2k and winxp should work with dvddecrypter without scsi emulation.
http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=91078&page=3
Today I tried ExactAudioCopy and it works great, just enable nt40 as my "windows" and in winesetup added all my drives. Next DVDShrink ;-)

How do I enabled dma on the burner? Again this is a USB device not an IDE.

So I guess by now most of you have heard about the motion picture cartel's takedown of dvd decrypter:
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/06/06/1822211

This is truly sad news.:cry:
[pours an ounce on the curb for lightning uk]

Anybody know an any emerging alternatives? Particularly native to linux? One major feature that dvd decryptor has that no other program seemed to master was the ability to deal with sony's ACROS (i think?) copy protection. While your current downloaded and installed versions of the program will continue to work for the time being, expect to see further "innovation" with regard to non-standard dvd-video encoding schemes (ie copy protection).

bonifacio

June 9th, 2005, 09:46 AM

I STILL do not know how to enable DMA on a USB device. But went ahead and follow the instruction to a T.

Decrypter cannot see the USB DVD burner using STPI. However it detects the DVD ROM.

Using ASPI it detects the USB DVD burner but not the DVD ROM.

What is the difference anyway between STPI vs ASPI?

So reverted the interface to STPI. To test I rip to ISO using Decrypter and pass the image to Shrink for further compression. Then I used nautilus burning support (growisofs) to write the image to my burner.

Not the most convenient alternative but it works.

Here is my fstab:

# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hda2 / ext3 defaults,user_xattr,errors=remount-ro 0 1

Looks like he's redirecting all requests to the website to a moment of silence for Lightning UK, maker of dvd decrypter, since he (lightning UK) got kicked in the charlies by the movie cartel (see a few posts above). Truly a sad day...

Don't know if he's removed the instructions to avoid a similar fate, or if this is temporary only.

And in the error log it says:

when I say "it" I'm referring when you run winesetup

your guide is excellent. I'd been unable to get these apps running in SuSE for some time, but this how-to for Ubuntu is spot-on and just makes me happier about my decision to switch distros :grin:

mrbass, is it possible to install DVD shrink and DVD decrypter using Crossover Office and not wine? I have Crossover Office installed and I would like to use it (above all it is based on wine). If I install Wine it will conflict with Crossover Office?
Thanks,

so your telling me
cd ~/.wine/
ls -al
it shows
/fake_windows
like I said install it to your linux partition not your NTFS partition. NTFS is not writable in linux only fat32 and hfs+. (don't some wise guy say captive)

Yes, the /.wine/fake_windows is there in my home directory. When I try to download DVDDEcrypter, I get the dialog box and select open with wine; wine starts and then I get the error

NSIS Error:

Error writing temporary file. Make sure your temp folder is valid.

and can't go any further. If I look in the /tmp folder, the SetupDVDDecrypter file "appears" to be there, but wine doesn't seem to be able to open it up.

I've never used wine before. I do have Decrypter and Shrink on the XP partition; I don't suppose there is any way to use wine to run it from there?

Don't run it directly from the download dialog box. Sounds like firefox (or what ever browser you're running) is saving the file to a temporary directory then attempting to execute it from there. Instead just tell it to save the file to your home folder or where ever, then run it with wine from the command line. like this:

$ cd /path/to/downloaded/file/
$ wine name_of_file.exe

Thank you for the reply. Unfortunately it still doesn't install! I got the same error plus this error on the command line:

$ wine SetupDVDDecrypter_3.5.4.0.exe

There's something wrong with the resolution and this prevents me from installing?? ](*,)

I'm not sure I understand how to fix this. Is it something in the config file I need to change?

I followed the guide by mrbass with the small difference that i changed to nt40 before running DVD decripter. Thus it installs flawlessly. However when i try to install dvdshrink i got the following error:

I seem to be having the same trouble as craft47 :?

I have installed DVD Shrink fine, and have been using it for about 6 months, so I know that my wine install is fine. However, I tried to install DVD Decypter today, but when I run:

#> wine SetupDVDDecrypter_3.5.4.0.exe

I get an error box appear saying "Error writing temporary file. Make sure your temp folder is valid."

I have tried running it as root also, with no luck.

It has nothing to do with the resolution problem; that is in fact an ignorable warning as DVD Shrink works fine while the resolution warning appears.

I tried setting "Temp" = "/tmp" in my ~/.wine/config file but that didnt help. I also tried setting my temp folder to various other locations and none would work :mad:

I also tried updating to the latest wine install, which still didnt help.

Any ideas what the problem is with the temp directories?

... when I run:

I get an error box appear saying "Error writing temporary file. Make sure your temp folder is valid." .....

I managed to get round this by running the setup program through an old version of winex (now called cedega) to install it, however, you could easily install it on windows. Basically just copy the program's files from its Program Files/.... directory to a directory on your linux box, then you can run it with wine fine. :grin:

wine will happily run the program, it just seems that it sometimes has trouble with the installer.

I have followed the guide "to the letter" as everyone has said many times, and everthing appears to be working. ISO's are ripped, compressed, and burned without any error messages, but my computer shows the disk as blank (ejected and reinserted) and my DVD player won't load the disk. The disk has been burned on (I can see the color difference) and looks like every other burned DVD I have made (complete burn). I tried burning the ISO with Nautilus and it worked (for now), but I would like to know why DVD Decrypter's successful burns aren't working. Any ideas of what is going on? Great HOWTO mrbass, hopefully I can figure out this error.

getting wine setup isn't the problem. I have fake_windows all setup just fine. The problem is that I can't download DVDDecrypter. I get

NSIS Error:

Error writing temporary file. Make sure your temp folder is valid.

I was getting this error as well. To fix it, I wiped out my current wine config and reconfigured:

$ rm -rf .wine

(don't do that if you have any important info in there that you don't want to delete).

After that, I ran:

$ winesetup

From that point, you click Next/Next/Finish and should be able to follow the guide.

With the latest version of Wine, the .wine/config file is no longer used, but instead the registry files. They ship a crappy EXE utility called winecfg since we can't use winesetuptk anymore. I can't get it to properly work now. This is one of the reasons I've always hated Wine and WineX - things change too much, to the point of breakage.

Just like to chime in here and say it's a crapshoot with the new wine. I haven't tried it myself but once the new ubuntu is out in october I'll redo the guide and hopefully be able to get most, if not all, of it working again with the new wine version.
I can't seem to select STPI, it's greyed out. I've changed the windows version to nt40, d: is linked to /media/cdrom1 (my dvd-rom), and DMA is enabled.

Can't get new wine (in breezy universe 20050628) to work right with spti in dvd decrypter.

Upgraded to the new wine. Bunch of stuff broke so I deleted my entire .wine directory :-( . After setting up with the newfangled winecfg, things were happier.

Setting emulation (either global or per app), to nt40, enables the spti option, but under that option no cd drives are detected. Under the plain winaspi32.dll option ONLY my firewire dvd-rw is detected, not my two atapi drives, hda & hdc. Hey at least I have one drive working--it could be worse, I guess.

Anybody else have luck with the breezy wine?

August 30th, 2005, 12:38 AM

If I do get breezy working fine with the new wine in October/September I'll be sure to offer the current version of wine and keep it on my webpage as we've seen the wine development is crazy (or so it appears as of late). Also I suppose we'll have to pin our version of wine so it's not upgraded during a apt-get update.

August 30th, 2005, 06:37 AM

Yes it is. But I have to say, I think wine is getting really good. A couple of years ago, it wasn't much more than a novelty. Now, for me at least, it's actually a viable solution in some instances.

Wine does appear to be getting...ahem...better with age....

Any ideas?The size of the fake_windows directory should only be limited by the size of the partition it's in. So to get more room for fake_windows you'll have to either resize the partition or redo the Wine setup and have it put fake_windows in a larger partition.

Not really, but if you go here (http://packages.ubuntu.com/hoary/libs/libwine) to download Hoary's libwine and here (http://packages.ubuntu.com/hoary/otherosfs/wine) to get wine it'self you can uninstall Breezy's libwine and wine and reinstall Hoary's. Everything should be back to normal. And so that future upgrades don't upgrade wine, put this in your /etc/apt/preferences:Package: libwine

ok so dvd decryptor seems to working fine, i have just successfully ripped a dvd.

but dvdshrink is not working properly at all, the only way i can get it to run is to install it and then the gui will start, i have made the short cuts as suggested but it errors if itry and start it from the start menu in gnome.

all i really want it to do is to transcode my pre ripped vobs (courtesy of dvd decryptor) and burn them.

so in windows i would usually just navigate to the directory in which these vobs are located.

I cant do this in wine, dvd shrink can see neither my fake windows drives nor my dvd burner.

i have followed the instruction but cant get it work!, please help

oh i did the <WINEDLLOVERRIDES="riched20=n" wine dvdshrink32setup.exe> bit as well.

while i'm on the subject, how would a non programer know that he had to do that? over ride dll's i mean?, i have some other apps i need to get running in wine but have no chance if i have to do anything like that.

Ok...I pulled a real bonehead move. I was having trouble with SPTI Microsoft section also. I too got ahead of myself and didn't put DVDs in both drives before downloading the setupexe. I did the "ln -s /media/cdrom d:" but still had a problem so trying to be a smart guy I thought maybe it was because my dvdshrink was installed on c: instead of d: so I changed it to 'ln -s /media/cdrom c:' and now I get "NSIS Error" Error writting tempory file. Make sure your temp folder is available"

What should I do?

September 26th, 2005, 05:08 PM

Sorry if you had already thought of these but are you sure that the account you are using has the correct permissions to write to the wine config file?

What text editor are you using and are you sure that you are actually saving your changes? vi can be a bit of a bitch if your not used to it and its easy to exit without saving, same with joe and nano.

if your not sure how to check permissions, just use the root terminal in the gnome applications drop down menu and do it from that terminal, you will then have root permissions (well sort of), see if your changes are saved then.

Eversmann

September 26th, 2005, 05:30 PM

thanks for the reply.

Yeah, all is correct in that. I'm running Wine under a normal user (not root), the changes are made (if i cat the file with cat config | more the changes are there).

I'm using vi as an editor.

wine is in default installation. I only did what is in the guide, change the config file to nt40 and the link at dosdevices to link to the correct drivers.

I've done houndred of test before posting here, i like to search before for an answer ;-)

but it's very weird, i've tried with win2k too after reading at doom9 forums that is the correct set for wine and dvd decrypter.

argh, i want to get rid of windows and only use ubuntu :-D

Thanks a lot for the information, was very useful.

I finally found my problem. Looks like i had enabled the backport repository and when i was doing apt-get i was installing an old version of wine.

Now i've installed a new one, the winetools worked and i have dvd decrypter and shrink doing its "job" ;-)

thanks a lot for the help.

OK, this is my third attempt,(don't give up on me yet!) and it is with a clean Ubuntu install. I took my time and read every post in this section and then followed Mr. Bass's install guide VERY carefully. DVD Shrink works good. DVD DEcrypter on the other hand gives me these errors upon startup. 1st one; a box pop's up and says,

I/O Error!
Device :[0:0:0:] (H:)
CDB: 12 00 00 00 FC 00
Interpretation Inquiry
Reason Invalid Function

I then tried the 2 options in this box which are Retry and Cancel, Retry the same error message, Cancel the box goes away..

Then,, it looks like everything is OK, but when I try to burn the ISO I get:

Device IO Control (FSCTL_LOCK_VOLUME) failed
Device [0:0:0:] Memorex DVD+/-RW True 8x 1.19(D:)
Unable to lock volume for exclusive access-
Reason: Invalid Parameter

Any help would be greatly appreciated, my objective is to get M$ off my other HD !

Oh, also upon booting Ubuntu I get a line about 7 or 8 down that says:
device HDD No such file or directory

thanks again

uncheck that setting in dvddecrypter. Not sure about the other errors. Main thing is that wine is constantly changing. Just today I finally downloading 5.10 ubuntu, kubuntu, and edubuntu so I'll give it a spin but if it doesn't work most likely just have to wait for a newer version of wine.

Okay, I've just upgraded to breezy and after spending 2 days fighting with fglrx I'm on to my next problem. It seems that either something in wine, or one of its dependant libs has changed and now even with the proper settings (per mrbass) SPTI is greyed out. If anyone has any idea's on this please let me know, otherwise I'm just going to poke at it until I give up or it starts working.

<snip> Just today I finally downloading 5.10 ubuntu, kubuntu, and edubuntu so I'll give it a spin but if it doesn't work most likely just have to wait for a newer version of wine.

Well, I'm certainly looking forward to that. I might report my experiences in the hope that they will provide some insight into mere mortals.

With the 'original' how-to, I did manage to follow the guide precisely and get both DVDDecrypter and DVD Shrink to work, sort of. That is, DVDDecrypter found the dvd burner and could rip dvds. The 'problem' was, I couldn't tell it where to put the resulting file(s). It turned out they were in the root of fake_windows.

Then, DVD Shrink would load, appeared to be okay, but I couldn't browse the file system to find the ripped file(s). I got errors about some missing dll or other.

I Googled the thing and found a bug report in Wine that said it was fixed, just download and install the newest version of Wine - which I did. As has been noted, the later version (20050725 - I think there is now a later one?) is quite a bit different in its file structure (drive_c vs. fake_windows for example) and setup (winecfg vs. winesetup) and I had to re-install both DVDDecrypter and DVD Shrink (I saved the old .wine directory to .wine-bak).

Now, DVD Shrink works as it should. I can navigate the file system, find the ripped file(s), process them and save an .iso image (but cannot burn with DVDDecrypter). DVDDecrypter cannot find the dvd burner, though. The log file shows it to find NT 4.0 and that SPCI is working, but no dvd burner (/dev/hdc mounted on /media/cdrom0 in my Hoary system).

I burned the .iso with K3b but cannot rip any new ones, so it is back to Windoze for the time being (I hope).

1) Rip the DVD title(s) to harddisk with DVD:RIP in a project folder. This will create VOB files of the chosen title in that folder containing the movie and the soundtrack you picked.

Lmao, nice. Next?

(by that, I mean .. for example:

A ROCKET SCIENTIST'S GUIDE TO GETTING TO THE MOON

Fly a rocket ship in an upwardly manner, oriented towards the Earth's satellite.

hint: I think if I could get dvd rip to work, I could crap dvds out my bum.

i'm trying to follow the guide, but i'm stuck.
i've installed and ran the setup (winesetup), and have download dvddecrypter. However, when i do "open with" i cant find wine (default). ?? When i tried this before i was able to get it over with another version of wine by doing wine DVDDecryptersetup and it worked, but with this wine that command doesnt work. Any suggestions? Also, when i get the programs installed, how do i make links in the applications menu?
Are you using Breezy or Hoary? If your using Breezy installing wine setup will remove WINE. WINE now comes with its own config utility.

The WINE in the Breezy repos dosnt work as well as Hoary. Go to THIS (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=81947&highlight=wine) thread and follow the link/read the thread. ;)

I finally got DVD Decrypter and DVD Shrink installed and working thanks to the great people here and the MrBass guide. Also I found another site that helped me:

http://dhost.info/kpex/guides/dvd-winehowto.html

Pay attention when creating the sym links. I was using:

$ ln -s /mnt/cdrom d:
$ ln -s /dev/hdc d:

instead I needed to use

$ ln -s /media/cdrom0 d:
$ ln -s /dev/scd0 d:

To check what your computer is using, in a terminal type:

cat /etc/fstab

that will tell you what to use for your sym links.

Sometimes I have trouble getting DVDDecrypter to recognize a Blank DVD, but GnomeBaker works beautifully I don't really see the need to burn with DVDDecrypter anymore.

I hope this helps someone. That was my problem.

Last time I tried the guide in the OP worked, but now whenever I try to start DVDShrink it just uses up 100% on the cpu usage, and doesn't actually start, if I start it through terminal it also spews out a massive amount of errors. DVD Decrypter seems to be working fine though.... In fact... the only thing in the DVD Shrink directory that Wine is executing correctly is the uninstall exe ironically!

Here's a snippet of the errors coming through the terminal:

There is an immense amount of errors, the Terminal doesn't even scroll far enough to display them all to give you an idea of the scale.

I just upgraded edgy to feisty and now my dvdshrink gives the exact same error. It always worked perfectly in dapper/edgy. I first got an error message saying it couldn't find xvidcore.dll, so I downloaded that and put it in windows/system and windows/system32. That is when the massive error messages started. I hope this gets sorted soon.

Trust me this is funny... I Ctrl-C'd during the process of the uber long error message to try another fix, and DVD-Shrink opened, I tried it twice to see if I could duplicate the results, and it worked both times! So this might do as a temporary fix till someone more adept than myself can figure out what's going wrong. ;)

I had a feeling it might be something to do with permissions within the .wine folder in the Home folder as my emulated cdrom0 drive in dos_devices only had permissions for root as well as some other folders.

I just tried ctrl-c, but all it did was stop the long error message. DVD Shrink did not open. Did you put the xvidcore.dll file in?

No I just did a straight install with Wine. If I Ctrl-C as soon as the first error messages start or a distance into the errors it stops and goes to DVD-Shrink... seems you have to time it right though, otherwise yeah it just stops the error messages and nothing happens.

mgmiller

May 14th, 2007, 01:00 PM

Interesting. I removed the xvidcore.dll file and ran dvd shrink in a terminal. When I hit ctrl-c, the program popped open, just as you said. I changed my entry in Main Menu, so it runs in a terminal instead of just executing, so I can use the ctrl-c trick. Thank you. Very weird problem, though. I wonder if there is some command line switch in wine that is now needed to get around this issue.

Yesterday, I went to winehq.org and entered a report about this problem. Previously, DVD Shrink had been rated gold. I changed the rating to garbage and gave all the details I could. I have discovered that even with the ctrl-c trick, often the program is non responsive. I don't know if the regression is in feisty somewhere or in wine, but clearly, something has gone wrong. .

Goodonya' for posting the error report, hopefully someone into the nitty gritty details of wine will be able to shed some light on it.

I can say that I was having this same problem running DVDShrink under wine in Dapper. Albeit I hadn't tried the Ctrl-C trick back then, but it was giving me similar error messages.

This bug has persisted through the 0.9.38 version of wine. They are aware of it and are working on getting it fixed. I have fixed it for now by uninstalling wine in syaptic, then unchecking the wine repos in the 3rd party tab and after a reload, reinstalling wine from the official Ubuntu version which is 0.9.33. All is now good.
