I think you will find that on Linux all gui based rippers end up running CLI command mencoder to do the actual work. There are lots of examples of how to use mencoder / mplayer if you google around a bit. It has an insane amount of options and reading the man pages is mind numbing, so find some examples that work for you. This is a basic dvd rip example (rip track 3 to a .avi file with reasonable quality in 2 passes): ------------- #!/bin/bash mencoder dvd://3 -dvd-device /dev/sr0 \ -ovc xvid \ -xvidencopts bvhq=1:chroma_opt:quant_type=mpeg:bitrate=6000:pass=1 \ -oac copy \ -o /dev/null mencoder dvd://3 -dvd-device /dev/sr0 \ -ovc xvid \ -xvidencopts bvhq=1:chroma_opt:quant_type=mpeg:bitrate=6000:pass=2 \ -alang en -oac mp3lame \ -lameopts br=96:cbr:vol=6 \ -o borgen-S01E10.avi ------------------ You can use mplayer to find the tracks and encoding stats for the source video. It can be a bit of trial and error to finally get the parameters that work for your source if it is letterboxed or has other unique requirements.

There are a number of videos in each DVD. I have looked at a couple of programs for linux on the NET such as dvdrip and handbrake-gtk. I am new to this and it seems hard to find a good tutorial to explain things well. Are these programs good or are there others that would be better; ones with a good tutorial?
