Pburn won't rip DVD in Fossapup64

[gychang]

I have Fossapup64 dual booting with Bionicpup64, both frugally installed in my desktop, I used DVD to rip to a file on Hard drive.
In Fossa, pburn does not work, app starts but nothing but blank screen on the progress window, with no spinning of DVD drive. However in Bionic pburn works fine.

I see no error message when I start on the console. I will see if I can reinstall in Fossa to see if works. Anyone have a similar problem?

I remember this as an old problem of many puppies. BarryK found a fix in the old forum by compiling cdrtools. You can download from the old forum cdrtools-3.02a09-x86_64_common64.pet to see if it works in fossapup64.

Please explain that. Are you trying to rip a DVD movie into a video file?

In Pburn, what tool do you use?

@gychang i had a look at this and libdvdread showed an error about missing libdvdcss required for reading encrypted DVDs.
see the libdvdread readme

Content Scramble System (CSS)
-----------------------------

Many DVDs use CSS[0] as a form of a Digital Rights Management (DRM) to encrypt
the content of Video DVDs. To play such discs a special library is needed to
decode them, libdvdcss.

Due to the legal limbo of libdvdcss in some particular juristictions, some
distributions including Debian do not distribute libdvdcss.

If it is legal for you to use CSS in your juristiction, you can:

* Manually download and compile the source code from
<http://www.videolan.org/developers/libdvdcss.html>.

* Use packages from derivatives that include libdvdcss.

i've compiled libdvdcss from videolan (not available in ubuntu repos) and added to quickpet>>updates. can you test if it's working now.

I use the tab, copy/shrink DVD. Although pburn is mainly used to burn a DVD, it can also rip DVD.

I updated the quickpet and rebooted, still the same problem...

hi @gychang

just tested and it's working for me on a pristine boot (pfix=ram) as well as on my normal install. as @rcrsn51 asked can your say exactly what you are doing that isn't working.

what i did to test
1. booted pfix=ram
2. clicked on quickpet & fossapup updates
3. inserted my DVD (a genuine purchased film)
4. opened pburn
5. clicked on copy/shrink
6. chose 'copy only movie -shrink to fit on a dvd' and click on the burn icon
7. dvd is ripped to pburns /tmp location (defined in options)

and it works. it also works on my regular install

I tried to duplicate your method on fossa on ram boot (pfix), updated quickpet, opened pburn, changed to /tmp rather than default /my-document/tmp, when I try to burn (get a warning tmp space <9G (actual 7.8G). Apps do not launch as pictured and no CD spinning. Must be my hardware incompatibility? since your set up works...., I decided downloading handbrake app is the way to go and strangely enough handbrake also does not work in fossa although works fine on bionic. I appreciate your attentiveness on this matter. I was able to rip DVD using handbrake and pburn only in Bionicpup64.

hi @gychang

can you check that you have /usr/lib/libdvdcss.so.2.2.0

[bigpup]

never mind.

hi @gychang

I have it under /usr/lib64/libdvdcss.so.2.2.0

so fossapup does have it, just in an unusual location.

whilst looking into this i've discovered that the pburn info window is sometimes blank even when it's actually working and ripping the dvd. this happens mostly when using a temp file location that prompts that warning tmp space <9G. having the temp file on an actual drive ie sda1 i can some more info in the burning window.

so try a burn again and check in the temp file location you've selected for a "the_video_you_wanted.vob.partial" file. (you could right click on it and see if the size is increasing and this would mean it's working)
or for output in the burn window select a mounted HD as a a temp file location

tried again, when I get the burning window, the DVD is not turning..., gave up will use handbrake in bionicpup64, thanks for helping.

Try peasydisc instead, its either installed or usually available in the package manager (including Fatdog). I still use DVD's more than most and find it to be superior to pburn in actual functionality, even if pburn's interface does (IMO) look nicer.

For instance blank a RW and pburn - wont, whilst peasy does.

Try peasydisc instead,

PeasyDisc has NEVER been able to rip a DVD movie into video files.
