9 Last time i tried, dvdrip worked with transcode 1 (at least the
10 unstable version of dvdrip),
11 furthermore there are only 9 bugs against the package:
12 - 2 are version bumps request
13 - if you remove the version bump and a dependency fix, there are no
14 bugs against the latest version (in ~arch)
15
16 Moreover the package is still maintained upstream (last release 30
17 october 2005).

19 So please consider keeping dvdrip in portage.
