    Problems With K9 Copy

    I have been having a problem with K9 Copy whenever I try to convert a DVD to MPEG files using the method without encoding, but for some reason lately it seems to be splitting each episode I am trying to rip into about 6 or 7 pieces instead of just one. I never usually have a problem with this, but for some reason it seems to be doing this whenever I try to rip something.

    Any suggestions?

    * On a side note, I am running on Obuntu 9.10 and have K9Copy version 2.3.0 installed. I have tried installing several other versions, but it does the same thing with each.

    Is there a setting to set the a maximum file size for mpeg files? You may find all but the last file are the same size?

    For some reason each file is a complete random size. Some are 20 or 50mb and some are 200 or 300 mb.

    I really need a hand with this one, it seems to be doing it to every DVD I try to rip now.

    I have a collection of DVD's that I want to turn into MPEG files, but for some reason it is defaulting to splitting the files [into multiple files] and I can't find the setting to change this. I have tried reinstalling K9copy and that doesn't work. Is there a way to reset the settings completely, or completely reinstall K9copy and wipe out all of the former settings so the new copy is completely fresh?

    I checked the 'Configure K9Copy' settings and the file size is set on 2000mb, but I never changed the settings before, so I can't understand why this is happening.

    Is there a .k9copy folder in your home directory? If so you can try moving that and see if k9copy will go back to default settings:

    Code:
    sudo mv ~/.k9copy ~/.k9copy.old

    There's no .k9copy folder in the home folder.

    What do I do now?

    A file / folder that starts with a . is hidden. You will need to view hidden files to see them
