[HLUG] Shutdown Woes

[Morven Lewis-Everley]

I sorted it now, I hadn't got libdvdcss2 installed. Basically this library
allows DVD rippers to easily rip encrypted DVD's. Without it, some don't
work and others take loads longer.

I think that Handbreak (the software I was using) was using too much CPU and
overheating it without that library (like you suggested Julian)... Oh well,
its fixed now, thanks for the replies!
