Hi,
I don't have these problems reading the TOC under Debian (32-bit).
But with some copy protected DVDs the ripped movie has audio that is not sync with the video. Than it helped to use Video Lan Client (VLC), in File Open dialog at the bottom you find 'extra options' (could be named slightly different since my VLC is in German), activate 'Stream/save', enter 'settings', 'Outputs', 'File' and as encapsulation method select 'MPEG PS'. VLC will show no picture but only the running movie time. (Don't forget to deactivate the streaming after copying the movie since VLC doesn't reset this automatically!)
Now I start transcode manually for this file.
Hope this helps in your case.
Regards
Michael

I don't believe it's tcprobe. DVD::Rip uses lsdvd to read the TOC if it's installed. If not, it uses tcprobe. I uninstalled lsdvd to force it to use tcdecode and had the same trouble. I believe that the "execflow lsdvd ....." command never exits. Run dvdrip in the background, start the rip, and when it hangs, check to see if you have a "<defunct>" process by running ps with no arguments. I think that process has has a problem.

Funny - hope its just co-incidence, I too am running on CentOS 5.2 Plus - x86_64 version that also runs mythtv. MythTV also uses transcode, although I don't use that part of it, I keep my recordings in HD (~5GB/Hr).
I know tcprobe is available, but when I look at the help, I'm lost - video is new to me and all the options and jargon don't yet make a lot of sense to me.
All I want to do, is extract two minutes out of a DVD chapter, to use as a clip for promotion of the DVD.
I have managed to rip the chapter .vob file onto my hard drive with all the DRM / encryption rubbish taken care of by using some command line program (forgotten what it was, and not in front of the machine to check), I was hoping to use DVD:RIP to assist me with the transcode bit and extraction bit.....
All getting too hard, maybe I'll look around for some other solutions.
Kind regards
Rob

I have run into the same thing. So far I have not received any
assistance. If you hear anything please let me know what you find out.
I have gone as far as re-installing my OS (centos 5.2), down-reving
dvd::rip and it's dependencies, using 3 different dvdrom drives, and
reading the vtoc without lsdvd. All with no success.
I agree with you though, I believe it has something to do with tcprobe
(which is bundled with transcode). I guess there is a forum for
transcode but I have yet to look into it.
Just out of curiosity, what flavor of linux are you using?

I have a new install of dvd:rip that appears to be complete and intact,
however when I load a DVD and select the RIP Title tab and then press
the "Read DVD table of contents" button I get the following in the log

nothing else and it stalls
The job plan and progress window shows
Read TOC (lsdvd|tcprobe) 0.00% finished
Read TOC (lsdvd) 0.00%, elapsed 15:22
Read TOC (tcprobe) Waiting
Determine number of titles Waiting
I try the lsdvd command in a terminal and it works fine
I suspect that it is the tcprobe that fails, but I do not know the
syntax or what I'm looking for
some pointers as to where to look next??
I am probably missing something obvious......
Thanks and kind regards
Rob
