Hello everybody,
I recently installed Ubuntu edgy and can't make dvdrip to work. I supposed
there is a problem with
transcode itself, however I wanted to ask in this mailing list first, it might
be somebody already
knows the solutions for this problem.
Any operation involving transcode (preview grabbing, transcoding,
volume analyzing and so on) freezes dvdrip. Processes like tccat happily sit in
memory forever and
never finish. You can't just kill them by pressing a button from dvdrip or
issuing simple kill
command. You have to apply kill -KILL to them.
Now the strange thing is that if I try to execute the commands as dvdrip tries
to execute them they
might freeze or might finish appropriately. I could not figure out when
transcode would freeze.
Nevertheless, dvdrip ALWAYS freezes. The command that is shown below as an
example freezes all the
time in dvdrip, however, it gets executed from the command prompt properly.
I hope I'm not the only one who has this problem, if somebody know the solution
to the problem,
please, help!

As you see it is never 100% done. Now if I see my processes:
21094 ? S 0:00 sh -c mkdir -m 0775 -p

/home/kirill/dvdrip-

21109 ? SN 0:04 tcextract -t vob -a 0 -x pcm -d 0
in order to finish the task i need to
killall -KILL tccat
thanks,
