dvdbackup

[François Patte]

bonjour,

Is there a version of dvdbackup working under FC4. I installed dries
version but it doesn't work:

dvdbackup: symbol lookup error: dvdbackup: undefined symbol: UDFFindFile

It seems that FC4 version of libdvdread does not export that symbol....

Who knows?

Thanks.

I don't have a direct answer to your question, but I do have an 
alternative if you run into a dead end.  I've recently been exploring 
different packages alleged to do different things with DVD video, but I 
always seemed to hit a roadblock.  (The most recent was a bug in 
transcode that broke dvd::rip.)  Then I saw in a forum somewhere someone 
recommended dvdshrink (a Windows app) running under wine.  I figured 
what the hell, nothing has worked well yet, so why not...  I downloaded 
the latest wine rpm for FC4 from winehq, then grabbed the latest 
dvdshrink, and installed both.  Unbelievable.  I was stunned.  It worked 
the VERY first time without a single hitch.

HTH,
Jay

There is yet another alternative: k9copy, a Linux DVD shrink. Its site:

I used to have problems with reading DVD using mplayer and dvdbackup, and 
turns out that it's a problem with libdvdread. Long story short, I ended up 
with libdvdread and libdvdcss from Livna repository and they seem to work 
best for my platform (FC 4 x86_64). .

I compiled dvdbackup-0.1.1 from source and it works fine:
http://dvd-create.sourceforge.net/download.shtml

Make sure you also get the -devel packages if you're compiling from source.

Hope that helps.

Thanks, this work with some tricks anyhow: the install of libdvdread
does not use ldconfig and you are stuck if you want to build dvdbackup
without it. Small misery....

I wonder why you can find rpm for libdvdread and dvdbackup on the same
repository (dries) and dvdbackup does not working because libdvdread is
not compiled with some option needed by dvdbackup....

So, i have now two libdvdread: one in /usr/lib64, one in /usr/local/lib

Another post of Anthony Massina on this topic, gives clue to make things
more harmonious.

Submit a bug report and hopefully it will get fixed.
