You may need to install the package mpg123. It's available in gslapt. This may solve your mplayer problem.

Re: dvd backup coasters
Unfortunately I just can't seem to get handbrake to produce a file playable on my dvd player. I've even tried hanbrake cli and a gtkdialog script I found at puppylinux. The only extension my player seems to recognize is .avi. Oh well. ffmpeg and winff seemed promising. However, when I tried encoding...

Re: dvd backup coasters
I decided to try installing devede from the repos. Since it relies on mencoder, I was curious to know whether or not it would work with mencoder (both are Salix packages). Next I installed vobcopy to copy the dvd to my hard drive. Unfortunately, vobcopy crashed because of a "segmentation fault....

Re: dvd backup coasters
I've been working with dvdrip and acidrip in other distros with mixed results. Dvdrip usually crashes with a transcode error, so perhaps it's a problem with the dvds rather than the software. With acidrip there are 2 problems. One problem is that it is buggy in some distros. The other problem is tha...

Re: dvd backup coasters
Thanks for the tip. I tried using both availble containers from handbrake. My dvd failed to recognize both of them. Next I tried using acidrip and dvd::rip on my arch linux install. They suddenly had the same issues as salix: dvdrip fails to completely rip a title because of a problem with transcode...

Re: dvd backup coasters
I'm going to cling to the old technology until it quits working. :D Here's what I've been working on... 1. Installed bashburn and used it make a data dvd disc. The quality was marginally better than the disc created with cdw. I then tried to create and burn an iso of the ripped dvd files using bashb...

dvd backup coasters
Hello. Some discs in our DVD collection have been mishandled over the years. We have also purchased a few used DVD's that were not in mint condition. So a few years ago I started backing them up. I've had great success using tools such as lxdvdrip, lxdvdshrink, gdvdshrink, dvd95, qvamps, and k9copy....

Re: siag
Yes, I installed mowitz and nextaw. Turns out the slow internet connection was the problem. Not sure what's causing it, but I have an idea. (It may be the distro I'm running on my wired desktop; it's caused problems before especially with my wife's MacBook.) Sorry about the false alarm.
