The de facto standard DVD ripper is, hands down, dvd::rip ( http://freshmeat.net/redir/dvdrip/20118/url_homepage/dvdrip)
 
Assuming you have none of these, you'll need:
 
1. XviD video codec: http://www.xvid.org
OR
DivX5: http://www.divx.com/divx/linux/
 
DivX5 looks a little better, DixV is open source. It's up to you
 
2. avifile: http://avifile.sourceforge.net
 
3. Transcode: http://freshmeat.net/redir/transcode/15968/url_homepage/transcode
 
4. Then you'll need to get the Gtk perl module:
'perl -MCPAN -e shell'
go through the setup process. When you get to the perl prompt, type: install Gtk
Let it do its thing and install any supporting modules it needs. When done, download and compile:
 
5. dvd::rip: http://www.exit1.org/dvdrip/
 
Then do 'dvdrip' and you should be set!

Pretty good , pretty neat
 
Sweet man i'll go try these out

I already got the gtk Perl stuff , but why needs lynx though ?
 
Well i went through some errors in the ./configure make&make install about the avifile and transcode
 
Should i paste'em here so we both have a better background ? something about cd1 : bla bla dont remember
 
Was about the /usr.../lib ( libraries path ) so i have to
./configre --x-libraries=/usr.../.../lib ?

Now after all the only one that conflicts with
 
perl-Video-DVDRip-0.50.3-0.i586.rpm
 
Is that transcode's needed says.
 
**transcode >=0.6.3- is needed**
 
Something went wrong with it ?

The ./configure went rocking

Ops ... missed the install gtk within the shell
 
Well something's wrong with the FTP though ... cant login in the ftp i
 
chose ... Lemme try add some more within the cfg...
trying trying trying ...

Can't exec "gtk-config": No such file or directory at Makefile.PL line 141.
Package 'gtk' needed but it was not detected on your system.
You may want to force it using --with-gtk-force if you know better than me.
Running make test
Make had some problems, maybe interrupted? Won't test
Running make install
Make had some problems, maybe interrupted? Won't install

It looks like you're trying to mix source and RPM installs. It also looks like you're using an RPM distribution. In my experience, Red Hat and all its friends make it unneccesarily difficult to compile from source, but we'll see what we can do.
 
First, make sure you remove RPM's for any previous versions of these things. Then, try to install each of the above packages, from source, in that order. Judging by your transcode install, you have no avifile or XviD built in. This will prevent you from successfully ripping DVD's.
 
Also, in Perl, did you do 'Install Gtk' (case sensitive)?
 
I have Slackware 8.1 packages for each of these items. I can go back and try to make RPM's. Let me know if you are still having trouble.

I'll deal with it and i'll let you know

Greetings ,
 
 
Everything's okay even with my dvdrip.
 
Take some time though but at least doesnt kill your cpu due its process.
 
One good set up of your box and ROCKS

Thought I'd share this. Might make your life easier when it comes to dependencies. The Debian distro uses this for package download and management. It automatically tries to find, download and install dependencies. It's called Apt-Get. They've gotten it working for rpm's on Redhat and Mandrake. Instead of pointing you to the original version of the software that has kind of a lame set of repositories I figured I'd point you here http://atrpms.physik.fu-berlin.de/dist/rh9/ to this copy that has repositories setup for stuff used in the mythtv project. They gotta have all kinds of video related stuff around for the project. Should do the trick for you and make life easier.

Greetings ,
 
I did that Actually dealt with the deps as well.
 
2of'em.Alu and apt-get-pkg i think ? Anyway the thing about that apt-get is that always says that the ver is the latest and just exits
 
ie : apt-get update glibc
apt-get install glibc
 
Keeps telling me that the ver installed is the latest.
LOL
 
Even with qt3 that i've tried cause i need to update my qt-3.0.5 to qt-3.1.X.
 
Still no dice.
 
Now either i wait to update to 8.2 ( SuSE pro ) or i try more with tar/rpm.
 
apt-get excausted me so i wont stick with that.I'll try the old fashion way to update'em
 
Thank you again for your concern man
 
I'll let you know when something comes up with these
 
Farewell

Did you try to use the version of apt that I linked to? It's been rebuilt with some other repositories that are more up to date and geared towards multimedia. Might get you straightened out. If you did and it didn't work then unfotunately I'm spent.
 
Good luck with it man. May be in a couple weeks when I recieve my copy of suse I might be able to help more.

Hi again ,
 
Well actually no,i'll give it a try
 
I'm kinda used to it ... 'beta testing' and in general try out anything at all,even distros to see their variatons,newer/older versions of apps etc.So it's not heavy.I guess i'll find out how to fix this,somehow...
 
Lately i was working on going deeper with winex3 to get more games to work.That kinda stuff And some raceSims for linux
 
SuSE is quite good but i dont use YaST for ext programs/libs etc ,
 
Rpms/tars's the thing.
() YaST seems to have hard time on installing packages
 
Transcode-> when i was trying to update from 0.X.3 i tried within YaST but no luck(lots of deps).So i switched to console and rpm -ivh file.rpm|rpm -Uvh file.rpm and no deps at all,kinda weird huh ?
 
I'll see what's wrong with that too.
 
Anyway thank you for your time.
 
I can steal time once/twice a week to share with you a bit of everything
 
Be good and we can meet here again
 
PS Let me know if you find out anything else and i'll let you know as well about how it went that apt-get thing
