XDVDShrink : ebuild available ?

[bigbob73]

I have the same patch problem, but I just removed the patching from the ebuild and it emerged...
but how do I start the gui? I only get a console version if I run dvdshrink

if I understand the patches correctly, they fix where xdvdshrink is installed. It could be in a non-standard location.

I tried again today, and everything worked, including the patches.

1. Main difference between k9copy and Xdvdshrink is in background they use. Xdvdshrink use transcode, which is standard, and very good and tested tool for video editing. k9copy use vamps, so it will install this program too. Don't know about vamps functionality, but can swear in transcode.

2. Patches are there becouse Xdvdshrink program is build for Mandrake Linux, and files are in different place than in Gentoo. This patch is necessary becouse dvdshrink will not find files he probably need.
