I’ve recently tried to get DVD Decrypter working on Wine, it may seem simple at first, i assure you, its not. Here’s a few quick steps to get you going in the right direction.

• Install DVD Decrypter (wine SetupDVDDecrypter_3.5.4.0.exe)
• Run winecfg, and add the installed DVD Decrypter as an application and set the version to NT4
• Go to the Drives tab and hit Autodetect
• Remove any unwanted drives but leave your CD drive (should be /media/cdrom0)
• Select the CD drive letter from the Drive Mappings box and click Show Advanced
• Change Type to CD-ROM and click OK
• Open a shell and go to your local wine config dosdevices (.wine/dosdevices)
• You should have a existing link for your CD-ROM, now make a softlink for that letter to your physical device, but put a extra colon after the drive letter. (ln -s /dev/hdc g::)
• Fire up DVD Decrypter, in the Settings and I/O tab, switch it to SPTI and tick on Show All Devices.

Bar a few minor errors you should detect the drive and be able to use it. This will also work for CrossOffice, but the config directory will be slightly different (.cxoffice/bottlename/)
