[dvd::rip] hangs...




Hi,

I am fairly new to linux.  I have been able to get nearly everything that i 
need to completely drop windows.  

One thing that doesnt work is DVD to xVid conversion.  I am using FC6 and 
installed dvd::rip with Yum.  I can get the program to load, rip the DVD, read 
the TOC, but it always hangs on Grab Preview.  When i look at the system 
monitor I see transcode is running even when dvd::rip is closed.  If i try to 
end the process it wont.  Here is soming info on my machine/setup.


  Program              Version   
  -------------------------------
  dvd::rip             0.98.2    
  transcode            1.0.2     
  ImageMagick          6.2.8     
  xvid4conf            1.12      
  subtitle2pgm         0.4       
  lsdvd                0.16      
  rar                  3.60      
  mplayer              1.0       
  ogmtools             1.5       
  dvdxchap             1.5       
  mjpegtools           1.9.0     
  xine                 0.99.4    
  fping                not installed
  hal                  0.5.8     
  -------------------------------
 uname -r = 2.6.18-1.2849.fc6
--------------------------------
P4 3.2Ghz w/1GB of RAM.
nVidia 6600GT with nVidia drivers installed

I read on the FAQ...

6.1 dvd::rip sometings hangs during transcoding

That's most likely due to a transcode issue related to NPTL. Try most recent 
transcode versions (1.0.2 or better) and don't use NPTL with 2.4 kernels but a 
recent 2.6 kernel. If that doesn't help, you can try to workaround transcode 
NPTL bugs by enabling the correspondent option in dvd::rip's Preferences 
dialog. 

What does this mean?  I dont see anything in pref about NPTL.  Can you please 
clearify.

I am trying to convert a DVD on my HDD (video_ts folder) to xVid, AVI with AC3.

Thanks,
Mitchell
