Has anyone used FlaskMpeg under windows?

Well I would like the same thing under Mandrake.

For those who haven't used it it is simply a mpeg convertor. for vob -
divx . (and whatever else you want to do but thats what I use it for)
alt.os.linux,nz.comp
I have tried dvdrip and that has something weird going on with it.

also tried drip but that gives the following error.

Xlib: unexpected async reply (sequence 0x2f24)!

what does this error mean? Am I missing something that I need installed?

I went to a site that recommended drip be run under gnome but it gives the
same error. Running KDE 3.1 BTW.

What sort of problem, I have installed it from the plf urpmi resource
(plf.zarb.org) with no problems, and have easily created 2 X CD XVID file.

Have you installed libdvdread from plf? (or some other similar package name,
sorry can't recall the name at the moment), as Mandrake don't distribute
software that can decrypt DVD's

I do not have the DVDs. I have the 'macrovision removed' vob files.
Dvdrip will not let me choose a file off the hard drive to encode.

yes I have installed libdvdread from plf along with every
encoder/decoder/codec I could find. I am just running in circles getting
lost now cause I don't know what is in the system and what is not.

Do you know if you can list programs installed?

rpm -qa

or if you want something gui based try

rpmdrake-remove

no, no, no, this is Linux.
The question is not "if", the question is "how".

There are many ways to show what is installed on your system.

For example, if you use the rpm package manager (like Mandrake does), you
can do
rpm -qa
or
rpm -qa | grep -i dvd
to list packagees with dvd in the name.

Or, use locate (which finds files for you) like
locate dvd | grep bin
using grep to filter out only those files with bin in the path.
(To use locate, you have to first run updatedb as root to build the file
index. Often this is set up as a cron job.)

Or, check out the find command.

There's probably other cool ways to do it too.
