Hi all, the standard Linux rippers don't yet
get around the new Sony Arccos copy protection,
but I'm told DVD-Decrypter works. Has anyone
gotten it to work on Linux? I've read a few
threads that claim it does, but when I run it
under wine it doesn't find any DVD/CD devices.

anyone?
thanks,

(wanting to backup "The Forgotten" with this new
copy protection)

I got it to work - had to use ide-scsi to make
my DVD drive look like a SCSI device rather than
IDE - DVDDecrypter runs great, as does DVDShrink
on Linux using Wine (windows emulator). I'll
use Linux tools for the majority of disks knowing
I can use DVDDecrypter on Linux (I'd rather go
back to watching VHS than install Windows).

edit /boot/grub/menu.lst put "ide-scsi=/dev/hd<a>"
where <a> is the letter of your dvd drive. This
will magically make the drive a scsi device which
Wine can use. as root 'chmod 777 /dev/sg0' to
give permissions to your user with the scsi device.
"modprobe ide-scsi" to load the scsi emulation
module too.

After that, Wine and DVDDecrypter will find your
device and rip those troublesome Arccos DVDs.
Otherwise, steer clear of Windows as much as
possible.

make that "hd<a>=ide-scsi" -- example:

title Linux - craiger
kernel (hd0,2)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda3 hdd=ide-scsi splash=silent desktop resume=/dev/hda1 showopts
initrd (hd0,2)/boot/initrd

@edfardos, I am a Linux n00b, when I try to edit the .lst file, it says I don't have permission. How do I grant myself permission? With the su -l command?
