Re: [dvd::rip] Poll: How do you install dvd::rip?

[Dario Castellarin <dacstp@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I use dvd::rip on a Fedora Core 4 x86_64 box.
I just added the FreshRPMS repo (not Livna) to my yum.conf, then you just have to issue "yum install perl-Video-DVDRip" and yum automatically solves dependencies. The problem is that FreshRPMS provides Transcode 1.0.0, that is known for segfaulting on 64bit machines, so I updated Transcode to version 1.0.1 from ATRPMs, and everything just works fine.
You can add all these repos to your Yum by using the yum.conf provided by the Fedora's Unofficial FAQ.

Hiho,

although Benjamins "Quality issues" posting's style was dubious: it 
raises the question how difficult is it really to install dvd::rip.

As a Debian user it's easy, if you use Christian Marillat's repository.
And Jonathan wrote with FC4 and yum it's easy too, if you use the right
sources. I know Mandriva users have good packages provided by Götz 
Waschk. This list goes on, I just named a few, but also I don't know 
all.

So we learn: installing dvd::rip is easy if you use the right tools, but
the dvd::rip installation documentation is probably not complete resp. 
up-to-date here.

So please tell me which distro do you use, which tools to install 
dvd::rip resp. which download sites / repositories do you prefer and 
which experiences do you have.

At first I like to do this simple poll in the mailing list. Depending 
how good the results are I plan to add an according polling module to 
the website, so the corresponding records can be maintained by the 
community. This increases the chance, that the information is correct.
