Greetings:
I'd like to bring up a CentOS-3.3 system to use for multi-media purposes.
One of the packages I'm installing is dvdrip and all it's dependant packages (libdv, libdvdcss, libdvdread, avifile, & transcode).
I'm hunting down the packages on freshrpms.net and I notice that there are packages available for FC1, FC2 & FC3.
Question: Which FC version should I use for CentOS-3.3?
Thanks, Michael

I'm not sure I'd want to broadcast the fact that I'm doing something illegal on a public mailing list....

Is it illegal to rip a DVD to a file on your hard drive for personal use?

I am not a lawyer, and this is not legal advice.
As I understand it, using any technology (like DeCSS and similar tools, namely libdvdcss) to circumvent cryptographic protection (like that on most commercial DVD's) is a violation of the DMCA. This is why distributions like cAos, CentOS, etc. do not have it but certain foreign repositories do. Those outside the US are very likely okay, but those of us in the US are hosed.

This is true. His email did reference libdvdcss. I was thinking just ripping a dvd to a personal machine but I do understand the css thing. Yes, we are screwed aren't we? :|

It is not implicitly illegal, but if protected materials are the source it is in fact illegal. This is also very fuzzy, we will be hearing a lot more about this in the future I am sure.
