dvd::rip 0.97.9 says that all needed components are missing (even transcode, that is necessary in order to emerge dvdrip). Of course I have all of them installed, and everything worked with previous versions. Here is a screenshot.

Make sure that you have 'Workaround transcode NPTL bugs' set to 'No'. (Edit preferences - Miscellaneous Options'. If it doesn't help, run dvdrip from a terminal and post the error messages here.
That solved the problem. Thanks.
