sorry there hasn't happened much yet wrt dvd::rip the system i worked on with dvdrip had a disk die, art of a md0, system is gone, so i too reinstall, some real life worries and usual lack of enough time for everything i started out keeping icewm maintained, and eventually took on other things short version is better i guess: we always appreciate user contributions, if i am slow, it does not represent any lack of interest between you and chandler dvd::rip s hould stay, one concern is that transcode 1 i had on the laptop, on the system dvd::rip worked on has 0.6.14, when i tried dvd::rip on here, it seems to have finished the plugin scan the hangs, scanning plugins was what i did on the XP, then the hdd died :) i too am frightened to see good working apps go, i still consider readding kcpuload which worked then was gone, works still well from an overlay ;) you get the idea i will add your email to the dvd::rip filter in kmail so i hopefully do not miss things wife's surgery is friday, so i don't expect to do much before then Thanks, Daniel Goller
