Erich,

What happens when you run a program that the Wine application database
shows as fully supported?

Hardware-centric applications are usually handled better with software
written natively for Linux. This link
(http://mrbass.org/linux/ubuntu/dvdshrink/) gives instructions on how to
get DVD Shrink running, and many people have had good luck with using
it. However, the open-source teams working on the
Linux/Gnu/Debian/Ubuntu stack use open-source applications to test
drivers and other programs that interact with hardware. Consequently,
one should expect applications like DVD Shrink to have less stability
than their open-source counterparts.

There are more faster, more stable Linux alternatives for DVD backups.
In each case, you will need to install libdvdcss2, available from the
Medibuntu repository. (See http://medibuntu.sos-sts.com/).  "K3b" is
IMHO the best. It depends on KDE libraries, so if you are resource
constrained and are running the GNOME desktop (or if you just prefer
GTK/GNOME applications), you may want to install thoggen or totem-
gstreamer (along with the necessary gstreamer plugins for using DVDs).

Happy Trails,
