Erich,

Your setup is non-standard and fraught with many issues that complicate 
debugging. The problem could be Automatix, your video driver, wine, xserver, 
the DVD drivers, the decryption software, DVDShrink itself, or how the 
foregoing react to each other. Wine may have a bug, but it's not the most 
likely culprit. Even if wine has a bug, your current setup makes it next to 
impossible to figure out what that might be. 

Using DVDShrink to rip DVDs is going to be problematic any way you cut it. The 
Ubuntu help wiki says that it just won't work, even running natively on 
Windows. (see 
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/RippingDVDs). Again, 
consider using standard tools.

Automatix can be a useful tool for some people, but clouds the picture for 
debugging purposes. The server output you sent indicates a problem with the 
x11drv creating the interface window and with the audio setup, both of which 
can be affected by Automatix' driver install. 

Changing processors isn't the problem; they are the same architecture and, 
concommitantly the same kernel.

Rolling back to Edgy won't help your situation, either. You are on a 64 bit 
kernel, which is rapidly changing, and you are using wine, which is rapidly 
changing, and you are trying to interact with hardware in a non-standard way. 
Your best bet will be to stay with the latest releases. 

TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS:

Do a fresh, plain install of Feisty, without Automatix. Update all packages 
using your favorite package manager. Make sure that Feisty is running, 
including audio. At this time, do not install restricted drivers or other 
restricted software.

Install wine, using your favorite package manager (again, NOT Automatix). Run 
winecfg and set audio to "Emulation". Test wine by installing a Windows 
program known to work with wine (i.e., other than DVDShrink). Report back the 
results of the test.

Then follow these instructions 
(https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats) to enable playing DVDs 
(you will need to install libdvdcss2). Test the Windows program again to 
ensure it still works.

Then install the ubuntu-restricted-extras package, using your favorite package 
manager. Reboot and make sure that your system is working and in particular 
that your video card is working correctly. Play a DVD. Test the Windows 
program again. Report any problems.

If all goes well, you will have demonstrated that wine, your video driver, and 
the dvd codecs and decryption all work with Feisty and each other. 

AFTER you have successfully set up your system doing all the above, try 
installing your DVDShrink program using wine. Report back the results. If it 
doesn't work, the problem should be reported upstream to the wine maintainers 
(though I would suspect it will get low priority because open-source tools 
are available for what you are trying to do). If it does work, everyone will 
rejoice with you.

Happy Trails,
