DVD Shrink should install from the win32 installer into Wine's fake_windows directory fine.

To get it to detect your CD/DVD drive:

  • Update. With recent versions of wine, use winecfg to set drives.

First delete all references to drives in Wine Config;


Delete This 

 /home/user/.wine/config

and change the Windows type from win98 to winxp. Next,


In a console do the following| 

$ mkdir /home/user/.wine/dosdevices
$ cd /home/user/.wine/dosdevices
$ ln -s ../fake_windows c:
$ ln -s /mnt/cdrom d:

Your CD/DVD drive should show up in DVD Shrink now.

If you get an error "Failed to read file D:\" this is apparently caused by a CSS encrypted DVD, if you open the dvd in mplayer first it should then work in dvd shrink. 

umount /mnt/cdrom
mplayer dvd://1
mount /mnt/cdrom/
Start DVD Shrink
