[dis-solved]DVDrip

G'devening.

How do I rip a DVD onto my PC? I just bought Scrubs Season 5 and 6 for a great price at the local electronics store, but I would rather put them on my PC and watch them there. I am really messy with discs and I LOVE Scrubs, so I don't want to chance it.

I installed libdvdread and libdvdnav as well as libdvdcss.
On top of that vlc. VLC actually plays the DVD fine.

But k9copy (I use kde) does nothing, does not show a preview nor any ripp-able files.

What am I missing here?

I use dvdbackup to make an exact copy of the dvd on my harddrive. For further processing, when I want to convert it to mkv for example, I use handbrake

Run k9copy from CLI and see where it stumbles. Works fine here...

Strangely enough, k9copy does what I want it when I start the assistant. Including previews and all...
That kinda solves my problem, I must say, though it's still weird why I can not use the "normal" view, it just wont show any files in the tree view. And no errors in the console, btw.

Well, thanks guys
