A Python script to back up DVDs to MP4 files
Authored by: trpeterson1984 on Sat, Jun 30 2007 at 9:22PM PDT

I'm having a problem with the script. After I run it, I get:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/library/scripts/rip.py", line 66, in <module>
    dvd_file = prettify_filename(dvd_file)
  File "/library/scripts/rip.py", line 35, in prettify_filename
    for i in xrange(len(filename)):
TypeError: object of type 'NoneType' has no len()

I don't know Python so I don't know what len() means. Any help in the right direction would be appreciated.
