Exact copy: mplayer -dumpstream -dumpfile mydvd.dump dvd://1 Of course, you may want to rip another title than dvd://1. lsdvd tells you which title is the longest one. For encoding to DivX, Xvid, H.264... you can use mencoder or ffmpeg. Which one is largely a amtter of personal taste, but there are some technical differences as well. Don't ask me which one, though. I am just getting started as well (and therefore like ffmpeg for its easier command line syntax). > - then, i want to add those subtitles to the ripped bulk and burn it back. Look for devede from debian-multimedia.org. It's great. J. -- I like my Toyota RAV4 because of the commanding view of the traffic jams.
