Re: [dvd::rip] lsdvd/tcprobe fails?

Hello,
�unfortunately i need to resurface the old problem. That's why i'm reply to the old thread.
I carefully read all the info and here are the results of my testings. Please let me know what else i should provide to help with identifying the root cause of the problem.
I tried version .10 and it didn't work either.
