For lxdvdshrink, you do not need to compile. You need to do three things (if I remember correctly)
1. Install mencoder and lsdvd
2. After you "tar xzvf lxdvdshrink*" you will have two folders: bin and opt. Put them in a single directory such as DVDshrink.
3. Modify the file "/home/john/Download/DVDshrink/usr/local/bin/lxdvdshrink" with something like this
- Code: Select all
#!/bin/bash
cd /home/john/Download/DVDshrink/opt/lxDVDshrink
./lxdvdshrink.pl "/dev/hdc" "/home/john/Movies"
exit 0
(The first argument is your reader and the second argument is the output folder).
When you are ready to back up a dvd, put it in hdc and run lxdvdshrink from a terminal:
$ /home/john/Download/DVDshrink/usr/local/bin/lxdvdshrink
(You will need to do something very similar for gdvdshrink, but if you have lxdvdshrink, you don't need gdvdshrink. Also, you need some more dependencies for gdvdshrink, but I can't remember what they are right now.)
It is good to have both lxdvdshrink and k9copy. I got a "segementation" error once in k9copy, but had no problems in lxdvdshrink. But usually k9copy can copy almost everything - even dvds that other programs can't.
If you need more help, please let me know.
