I get this when I use DVDrip to read the ToC of my DVD for ripping:

Code:
Job 'Probing - title #1' failed.

Executed command: tcprobe -i /dev/dvd -T 1 && echo DVDRIP_SUCCESS

Last output was:

libdvdread: Using libdvdcss version 1.2.3 for DVD access


Any clues on what is wrong? I re-emerged libdvdcss and libdvdread, but that didn't help.

Rebooted and it probes now.

Hi,

I have just had this problem and a quick look at the dvd::rip faq gave me this;

Quote:
6.2 TOC reading throws Job 'Probing - title #1' failed

Some binary Perl 5.8.0 distributions have a bug (RedHat 8.0 is known to be affected, also newer Slackware releases and Debian sid). You probably can workaround this by setting the environment variable PERLIO=stdio before starting dvd::rip, e.g.

export PERLIO=stdio; dvdrip

Thanks to Ryurick M. Hristev for the hint.


Ahh, the joys of Perl 5.8.0!

Cheers,

Neil.
