ganymedian Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 I dont think its even developed for windows anymore. dunno why they would come back from the dead and port it to OS X.. but who knows I guess...

thrunner Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 I thought DVDshrink is not open source and has gone commercial and became Nero Recode. Nero could be interested in doing a OSX port of their burner program though. However, with newer Nero releases, there are more and more DRM in the program and I don't think they will be interested in doing a DVDshrink type of program.

littlepr Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 Guys, It was ported over to linux so I am sure it can be ported over to OSX.

thrunner Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 The linux version is a bash front end and may not be the same as the Windows version: http://ozzzy.dhis.org/index.php?DVDShrink http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/sourceforge/d...mdk.noarch.html In fact most Linux users are probably running the Windows version with WINE: http://forum.videohelp.com/viewtopic.php?p=1457952 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/14473-port-dvd-shrink-to-mac-os-x-dvd-shrink-x/#findComment-92632 Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlepr Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 Thrunner, I have run both versions. The wine version is convinient because you already know it. The linux version isn't that bad either it's just a little bit of work setting it up to run using the front end that came out for it.

Jon D Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 Would running DVD Shrink using Darwine be an option? Has anyone done this? I'm not really familiar with Darwine or it's usage, although now that I look, there seems to be a nice tutorial in the Wiki. EDIT: Ok, I just tried installing DVD Shink with Darwine. I get errors when I try to run it though. wine: Unhandled page fault on read access to 0xffffffff at address 0x90823daa (thread 0009), starting debugger... FIXME : get_thread_context_ptrace unimplemented FIXME : get_thread_context_ptrace unimplemented FIXME : get_thread_context_ptrace unimplemented Can't attach process 8: error 5 Followed directions for Darwine installation here: http://forum.osx86project.org/index.php?sh...512entry64512 Then used mIRC install instructions here: http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/Darwine_tutorial Anyone know what this means?

Ouch Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 The original topic title suggested it had been ported - so the thread was a severe dissapointment! I renamed it Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/14473-port-dvd-shrink-to-mac-os-x-dvd-shrink-x/#findComment-93280 Share on other sites More sharing options...
