In the current version(v0.1.3) this program will only work(at least, without great work) under Linux/UNIX because you are not able to change the default dvdbackup binary executed by this GUI.
Installation is pretty easy, just Install Ruby, Ruby-GNOME2(http://ruby-gnome2.sourceforge.jp/hiki.cgi?Install+Guide) and dvdbackup as dependencies.
For example on my preferred distribution (Gentoo) it will be a simple
# emerge dvdbackup ruby-gnome2
The Installation of the GUI is pretty easy then; just put the executable dvdbackupgtk.rb somewhere in your system path.
The step by step explanation:
1. Download the File dvdbackupgtk.rb somewhere on your computer
2. Make the File executable: # chmod +x dvdbackupgtk.rb
3. Copy or move the File to your system path, for example /bin or /usr/bin
4. Type: "gem install open4" in a console(as root)
5. Run the GUI from a Console(simply typing dvdbackupgtk.rb), or make some link to that executable, depending on your Desktop Environment(KDE, GNOME)"
Some Packages will come soon for different distributions/OS.
Notes to current Version:
-After starting dvdbackup the program is "not responding" to any useraction, because it waits, that dvdbackup ends, that is "normal".
-The configfile should automatically be created, and the source and target directories and after a click on save the option are
saved there already.
-dvdbackupgtk now uses open4, therefore you need no more a console opened in the backround, so you can
dismiss the "Execute in Terminal" option, but you have to install the gem manually(point 4 of installation instructions)
-"hard" manipulating of the dvdbackup options(and also the source and target directory) might result in an damaged configfile, you can open and repair it manually,
it should look like this, if not remove the other signs or delete the file:
---
dvdbackup_option: "-M"
real_target:
- /home/
real_source:
- /dev/dvd1
