Hi all at the Wine Forum. This is my first post so apologies if my question is
foolish. I'm quite new to Linux and totally new to Wine. I'm running
Wine under Ubuntu Hardy 8.04 and have installed FairUse Wizard 2.8 to see if it
will run. It's the full version which was released for free earlier this
year and I've been using it successfully in Windows XP. I want to dump
Windows but would like to continue using FairUse Wizard as it's such a great
program and my attempts to rip with dvd:rip have so far failed (I don't like
it anyway LOL).
So far I've successfully ripped a DVD with FairUse Wizard 2.8 with no
problems using the built in XviD codec. However I prefer DivX. Although I've
tried installing several versions of the DivX codec in Wine (ensuring divx.dll
was in windows/system32/ in each case) FairUse doesn't see it and will not
give me the option to use DivX to transcode the movie.
If anyone could suggest any way I can point FairUse at the codec or how I might
register it with the program in some way, I'd be very grateful. Thanks for
looking and regards,
green.
