 Posted: Tue Jun 29, 2004 2:23 am Post subject: dvdbackup (possibly libdvdread) problem |
 |
|
I have emerged dvdbackup, and when I run it nothing happens. All I get is:
| Code: | dungeon root # dvdbackup -M -i /dev/sg0 -o ./dvd
libdvdread: Using libdvdcss version 1.2.8 for DVD access
|
... and this is with no apparent activity on my dvd drive, no cpu usage by dvdbackup, etc. It just sits like this until I kill it.
I'm fairly certain I'm using the correct device, and I know my drive works, as I've used in in windows on this same machine. I've got scsi emulation support built in, cdrecord-prodvd -scanbus sees my drive:
| Code: | scsibus0:
0,0,0 0) 'PLEXTOR ' 'DVDR PX-712A ' '1.00' Removable CD-ROM
|
If anyone has any clue why this is or can lead me in the right direction I'd greatly appreciate it.

| I've had similar problems with my DVD ripping script. It turned out to be leftover processes that never exited correctly (like when you ctrl+x) and were still holding on to the dvd drive. Sometimes logging out then back in helped clear all the dead processes I had created or looking through top for these and then issuing "killall <appname> -s 9" |

Anyone else have any ideas? |
