Thanks! I don't know really, but my offhand guess is that transcode, being a very linux-centric project, really only knows how to deal with linux' devices. However, since the actual dvd-ripping/parsing is done by libdvdread, which obviously has more portable code, things work anyway because transcode just feeds the devicename it gets from fstab to libdvdread. Like I said, offhand guess, I didn't look at the code (yet). While I'm at it: I just recently received some private mail about the same issue: dvdrip, which is also in the ports-collection and also uses transcode to access DVDs, wants a 'DVD Device' in it's configuration dialog. Like with transcode itself, specifying the devicename of the DVD drive won't work, but the mountpoint will.
