Hello folks,

I've found a snapshot via Internet Archive:

Converting from/to .ratDVD format is entirely pointless nowadays. You will have
a hard time to find any content (torrent) in .ratdvd format that is still
seeded.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RatDVD

Anyway, the ticket might be still useful for finding/tracking Wine
insufficiencies.

Fortunately, I still have some old DVD movie 'raw' rips archived to test the
conversion to ratDVD (the other way around). Pointing the app to 'VIDEO_TS' ->
'video_ts.ifo' it properly recognizes all video and audio/metadata content.

With preview enabled I can see the conversion process (stills of the scenes).
At one point it freezes/stops the conversion. In my case: 'Action: Video
Manager Menu (57%)', not even the main movie.

Maybe I'll have a more detailed look at this later .. in some months/years.
We're not in a hurry here with almost 14 years already passed ;-)
