This question has been asked before but there was no answer to it...

Anyway, what I want to do is use the DVD player on my laptop to Rip a DVD using SmartRipper. But there is not enough space on the Laptop Harddrive. So, I'm trying to make it rip to the PC's harddrive over the network. Every time I try to do this the, SmartRipper tells me that the "Target" has 0 space, which I know is not true.

Is there any way around this?

Thanks in advance.

Using smart ripper over networks ..

Firstly , both pc and laptop need too be on the same network and group , as for ip numbers and stuff , just leave that on auto , they'll sort it out for themselves . dont forget too give each a name , makes it easy too tell the drives apart over the network .

I have a habit of even naming drives .

Amd xp cpus do not like last number in network being 2 , they'll freak out , so leave em on auto .

Getting down too it .

You will need too setup shared permissions on the laptop as , dvd drive , thats all .

Pc should not require anything being shared , but share atleast 1 drive .

I would recommend smartripper being run from the pc , not on the laptop .

fire up smartripper on pc , and browse for the drive , you should be in some sort of explorer type viewer showing drives , this is the fun bit .

you need too keep going back , untill you see the network icon , then double click it , then keep moving forward untill you get too the laptop , then the dvd drive which is being shared .

Now smart ripper should go beserk .

If you are following a guide on smartripper and how too use it , use that .

All you need do last , is point it where the files are too be saved , and you are done , just sit back and let it do all the work .

--------------------------------------------

I love frame serving accross networks .

Amd k62 ------------- Amd 1800xp , works for me .

Hope this helps you ..

Just remmember .

1: both need too be on same network "Group"
2: laptop only shares "dvd drive"
3: pc launches smartripper
4: locate shared laptop dvd drive via network
5: smartripper dose its thing
6: tell it where too save it (on pc hd drive)

Thanks for the reply.

I actually got it working a few mins after I posted that^ message. It was as simple as adding the Laptops DVD drive into My Computer on the PC.

Very slow, but it worked :)

Thanks again.
