[dvd::rip] Problems with VOB pathname?

[Robert Kormann <dvdrip@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear DVDRip users,

I like DVDRip, however, I faced a problem, which might be related to the 
used combination dvdrip/transcode. I switched to FC3 quite recently, 
having a pretty standard installation (I used yum for the installation 
of dvdrip.).

Installed versions are:
- dvdrip 0.52.5
- transcode 1.0.0
- glibc 2.3.3

I could not get a preview frame, always leading to "transcode can't find 
this frame." (Surprisingly it worked for one film, but nor for the 
next.). Playing around with the debug information, I could isolate the 
problem to tccat:

tccat -i "/home/robert/.dvdrip/DVDRip/unnamed/vob/001/" -t vob | mplayer 
- works fine

tccat -i "/home/robert/.dvdrip/DVDRip/SpyGame/vob/001" -t vob | mplayer 
- does not work and leads to "*** glibc detected *** double free or 
corruption: 0x0936a038 ***".

But the second version (without the trailing slash within the pathname) 
is what DVDRip is using.

My questions are now:
- Has anybody else here found this, and how did you solve it?
- Does it make sense to modify the corresponding perl module to send 
this trailing slash to transcode? Which module and where to add it (I 
know some Perl, but I am not an experienced programmer.)?

Thank you an advance.


Best regards
