Not just because of the possibility that others may be interested, but because I like the security of knowing this discussion is being stored in an archive somewhere in case I have a cataclysm on my machine and lose my own records. In any case, if you would be willing to share simply how you got dvd::rip working, that would be a great start. Was it an RPM install or using a tarball? Dave
