RipIt4Me now works in Linux under Wine

[Trespasser]

That's right, RipIt4me now is functional under Wine. It seems the RipIt4Me team took notice of Linux and our lack of programs to deal with ARccOS and RipGuard protected DVDs and adapted their code to work under Wine. I can confirm that it does work very well under Mandriva and Ubuntu.

Here is the link to the home page announcing its compatibility with Linux:
http://www.ripit4me.org/

Here is the download page:
http://www.ripit4me.org/download.html

Download the RipIt4Me Installer. It contains the latest version of RipIt4Me as well as FixVTS (which now works very well under Wine). You will also need DVD Shrink and DVD Decrypter (both linked at the above download site). You will need mfc42.dll available at the last link in my post (not just any mfc42.dll will work so get the one I linked).

You will also need Wine installed.

I decrypted The Pink Panther with this program easily. I'm running Ubuntu Dapper with a standard 686 kernel.

There is an offical RipIt4Me forum at this site:
http://forum.digital-digest.com/index.php

To my understanding they will be adding a RipIt4Me under Linux subforum there soon.

Good luck, and have a good day. :D .

P.S.
There is now a How to install RipIt4Me in Wine at this address:

OK, I just made a discovery for you people running Edgy with reference to the new RipIt4Me (1.6.0.0). I found an older version of Wine (version 0.9.15), installed it, and now RipIt4Me works great. No more "updating info" or "No DVD" messages when you click on Wizard or 1-Click Mode.

My point is...try an older version of Wine because a lot of things get broken along the way as WineHQ updates this product.

Go to this address:

http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/archive/index.html

and try 0.9.15 or some of the older versions they have listed. If you find one that works then go to Synaptic...click Status (in bottom left hand corner)...click on Installed (local or obsolete)...highlight wine...click on Package (at top left corner)...go down to Lock Version and click on it.

I'm going to try and track down an older version of Wine for Blag and see if my discovery holds true for them as well.

P.S.
Totally uninstall your present version of Wine and delete the hidden folder .wine in your /home/user folder before installing 0.9.15 (or whatever version you find works for you). Also, make sure you lock the version in Synaptic afterwards.

I also discovered that after you first rip a DVD using Wine 0.9.15 and RipIt4Me 1.6.0.0 you can then upgrade to the latest Wine version (0.9.26) without any problems. Just make sure after you upgrade to 0.9.26 you open a Terminal and run:

~$ wineprefixcreate

to adjust Wine settings to the new version.

Hope this helps someone. :D .

How about some feedback if you've tried these instructions.

Here's a point I've noticed so far...downgrading to an older version of Wine is not an easy matter for most distros. In the case of Blag (a Fedora based OS) I was unable to find anything older than Wine 0.9.20, which, btw, would not properly run RipIt4Me. IMO, another solution, besides downgrading Wine, will have to be found to get RipIt4Me up and running for the majority of distros.

You people who are reading this thread and have tried RipIt4Me under Linux/Wine can help out by posting whether (a) it worked for you or not, and (b) provide the name of your distro. If you found a solution to get RipIt4Me up and running for your distro then please share that solution.

Ouch. 161 views and no one's tried RipIt4Me's new compatible with Linux version? A little info/help on your part would be appreciated. So, if you've used it please post whether it worked for you and what distro are you using. Simple enough, right? So, help out.

I didn't work for me and i haven't decided whether to downgrade to see if it does yet.

The same error posted above plagues me as well , the version of wine 0.9.26, Linux distro Dapper Drake.

Hi Walter,

Instead of changing all your configuration, please try the solution described here (http://forum.digital-digest.com/showpost.php?p=484699&postcount=4)

It is very fast to test and you don't need to change anything to your configuration. It has been working for me with wine 0.9.2.6 and Ubuntu 6.10

Regards,

Well i couldn't get the downgrade to work.
For some strange reason installing previous deb versions resulted in not finding "usr/bin/winecfg" and compiling from source resulted in not finding "usr/bin/wine" this was only for the earlier versions of wine , i installed the newest version 0.9.2.7 and now it works.

[Trespasser]

Glad to see you're up and running, Walter. Way to go.

I don't know yet whether it's a combination of a new Wine version just released under Debian (0.9.27) or the latest from the RipIt4Me team (1.6.3.0) but after uninstalling Wine 0.9.5, deleting the hidden .wine folder in /home/user, rebooting system, installing Wine 0.9.27, properly configuring Wine via winecfg, installing DVD Shrink and DVD Decrypter, and installing the RipIt4Me folder in Program Files plus activating the UseOldCheckCode option in the .ini file (by setting its value to 1) located at /home/user/.wine/drive_c/windows/Application Data/RipIt4Me, it now works great. Previously the same procedure would have resulted in me receiving the "updating info" and "No DVD" message.

P.S.
I just turned off the UseOldCheckCode option in the .ini file (by setting it to zero) and RipIt4Me 1.6.3.0 still is working great...so the new version of Wine (0.9.27) must be the reason.

"Ouch. 161 views and no one's tried RipIt4Me's new compatible with Linux version?"

I read a lot of news on many sites
yet dont so much have the time to try it out :)

Thing is, I have really a LOT on my TODO list (its a text file
and has 510 non-empty lines, which equals around 420 things
i have to do)

Eventually I can find the time to try RipIt4Me :)

Amnon82,
Do you have RipIt4Me 1.6.3.0 running on Feisty?

[Amnon82]

Yes, and it's working.

[Trespasser]

Amnon82,
What procedure did you use to get it working under Feisty (what version or versions of Wine did you use)? The reason I ask is because I'm going to fresh install Feisty here in a couple of days. Thank you.

[Amnon82]

Wine has version 0.9.27-0ubuntu1 (feisty). Feisty gets many updates this days. RipIt4Me still works. I'm in heavy bug-tracking.

[Randi]

anybody ever tried under Darwine/Osx?

[ljos]

ripit4me works for me with Fedora Core 5.

ripit4me 1.6.3.0
wine 0.9.15

[Trespasser]

ljos,
Thanks for your post. :D .

This thread has its usefulness, and I'm glad to see you're up and going, but try the info in my other thread on RipIt4Me for it will allow you to use the most recent version of Wine.

Have a good day.

[Amnon82]

RipIt4Me runs under Paldo 1.8 (www.paldo.org) (Stable), Testing, Unstable and Experimental with wine (0.9.24-1/0.9.28-1).

Paldo 1.9 will be released this spring.

[wildchild77]

Ripit4Me V. 1.6.3.0 runs and installs smoothly on Ubutu Edgy 6.10 and Wine 0.9.28
