I don't like the idea of maintaining hardcoded paths in dvd::rip just to
catch the (in my eyes) esoteric case of workarounding broken ImageMagick
installations. I think it was broken, because convert was not part of 
your ImageMagick installation anymore. Every program using ImageMagick's
convert binary couln't work on your system. So it's better to fix the 
installation than extending hundreds of apps ;)
