DVD Shrink and DVD Decrypter (without SCSI emulation) in wine

[mrbass]

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

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

*cough*
native ways of dvd backups

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...)
