I was searching for a dvdrip kde app from some time, then I wroted down this ebuild
for k9copy:
(DVD9->DVD5 backup utility, good to do personal backup copy as is my right by Italian law,
check the laws in your country before risk....)

/usr/local/portage/media-video/k9copy/k9copy:

well, I've been trying it here and works like a charm

This is a must have for any Linux distro, so I will ask you to open a bug report and post there the ebuild
Than post here the bug #, and I will post my feedback there

In my opinion, and because of the demand for such app, this need to be added to portage ASAP

by the way, you need to change this lines:

Description and homepage were my hurry-mistake, but SRC_URI won't work here if without //,
some mirror make mistake and it wont work. (file.php? is a bad beast...)
If someone knows how to correct source URI in another way for better downloads, please tell me.

here
wget http://k9copy.free.fr/file.php?file=k9copy-1.0.1.tar.gz

downloads the file, but with the filename: file.php?file=k9copy-1.0.1.tar.gz

wget 1.10.2 on x86, compiled with gcc 3.4.....

hum, I'm trying
wget http://k9copy.free.fr/k9copy-1.0.1.tar.gz here's working even if isn't the official url, there?

Kanniball · Post by **Kanniball** » Tue Dec 06, 2005 8:55 pm

that's a strange behaviour of wget. The only diference, is that I've compiled my with gcc 3.3.6.

but as a ugly hack I think you could use the direct URL, without passing the counter in php

I added ebuild to existing bugreport, however media-video and media-tv seems to not want
to add new/delete old ebuild in these times (lack of mantainers?)

Works great for me, both the ebuild and k9copy. As a sidenote, this *does* really need to be added to portage, since k9copy is the only app that can perform a decent backup dvd9->dvd5, even if it's years behind dvd shrink for windows.

Matteo Azzali · Post by **Matteo Azzali** » Mon Dec 12, 2005 12:48 am

Well, if you want this ebuild in portage go in the bugreport I linked in my previous post and add a comment like
"worked great for me, when will be added in portage?" but at present time there aren't mantainers free for portage/media-video
(this is what they told me) and thus should be better if is moved to kde-misc .... trying to ask this also in bugreport??

tempest · Post by **tempest** » Mon Dec 12, 2005 4:46 pm

Done. I've emailed one of the devs about moving in kde-misc.

This is the bug i didn't commit because i didn't like the way this app was developed but if you guys provide an updated ebuild fixing all issues i maybe commit.

Very nice...

Just had to re-emerge libdvdread after getting "Can't seek to block..." errors, but then it worked a charm.

Thanks for the work guys!

MetalGod · Post by **MetalGod** » Tue Dec 13, 2005 1:49 am

this package is already on portage media-optical herd will be maintaining this.

I have tried the new 1.0.2.ebuild from http://packages.gentoo.org/ebuilds/?k9copy-1.0.2 and http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=116245 but although the emerge goes ok and k9copy starts fine, I get a vamps -i 'Bad factor' message early in the copy process.. this happens both with vamps-0.95 and 0.97.
Mvh

Edit, but it only occurs with 'series' dvd's. ordinary ones are OK.

I get this error:

Code: Select all

play_cell: Fatal: write failed: Broken pipe
ERR: Error reading from pipe: No such file or directory

MetalGod · Post by **MetalGod** » Wed Dec 28, 2005 12:53 am

it should work actually with vamps-0.97 but vamps-0.98 is on portage try it.

Cintra · Post by **Cintra** » Wed Dec 28, 2005 6:14 am

looks like there's a problem with vamps-0.98.. when selecting 'copy' in k9copy I get the message
"vamps : /bin/sh: vamps: command not found"
and porthole shows no files in /usr/bin..

Code: Select all

>>> Merging media-video/vamps-0.98 to /

edit: this one works ok

but there still seems to be a problem with 'complete series' dvd's, which appear to hang with 99% cpu at:
