HOW-TO: Install DVD Shrink with Wine in Breezy
This how-to can be discussed on ubuntu forums http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=78611
This how-to will install DVD shrink with the new beta version of wine (0.9) from WineHQ. The version of Wine that comes with breezy will install DVD Shrink but will not analyse your original dvd's properly. As always check the relevant copyright laws for your country re backup of DVD's.
I'm assuming that you already have libdvdcss2 installed so that you can play your retail dvd's. If not follow the how-to here

Installing Wine
The new Beta (0.9) release is now valiable at WineHQ and fixes a major bug with the preview window in DVD Shrink. Please use the WineHQ deb in preference to the version that comes with breezy -
Run
sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
add these two lines two your souces.list
deb http://wine.sourceforge.net/apt binary/ deb-src http://wine.sourceforge.net/apt source/
now update and install wine
sudo apt-get update sudo install wine
Configuring Wine
alt-f2 winecfg
This will setup your wine directories in ~/ and start the winecfg control panel
Once the winecfg control panel starts, go to the 'Drives' tab and allow it to autodetect your drive setup, by clicking on the 'Auto Detect' button. Close winecfg
Installing DVD Shrink
Download the DVD Shrink installer. The current version is 3.2.015 and you'll need to do a Google search (try DVD Shrink download) to find it, as the main site no longer carries links to the installer.
In a terminal in the directory that you downloaded DVd Shrink to, run the command
wine wine dvdshrink32setup.exe
(or whatever the exe file is called)
Follow the installer instructions to install. At the end of the installation uncheck the box that asks to run DVD Shrink now.
when the installer is finished run
alt-f2 winecfg
This will start the winecfg panel again as we have to configure it to run DVD Shrink properly
In the Applications tab window click on 'Add application'
Navigate your way into Program Files-->DVD Shrink and find 'DVD Shrink 32.exe'
highlight this file and click on the open button.
This will now take you back to the Applications Tab window and DVD Shrink should appear in the list in that window.
Highlight DVD Shrink then go down to the Windows Version box and choose 'Windows XP' from the drop down menu.
Click on the 'Apply' button then OK to exit winecfg.
Starting and Using DVD Shrink
The installer should have created an icon on your desktop. You can use this to start DVD Shrink or type the following command in a terminal
wine "C:\Program Files\DVD Shrink\DVD Shrink 3.2.exe"
You can also use this command to make an entry in the Gnome menus with Smeg/Alacarte
Enjoy!
