Also there is a problem of mismatching the sound and picture when I use mencoder as specified in the link. I have a better script. You can rip with the playing tool itself. $mplayer vcd://<track no:> -dumpstream -dumpfile filename.mpg This works for ripping VCD as well as DVD. However this method doesn't work well for audio cd's. I have used $mplayer cdda://<track no:> -dumpstream -dumpfile filename.wav So I use ripit. Just put the audio cd and type $ripit. It will rip all the audio tracks to the current directory. However, all of these methods doesn't work for a copy-protected DVD,VCD and Audio CD. I believe there is no standard method to break the hand-cuffs. The only way to avoid this is to check the copy-protected symbol on the back side of the cover, before buying the record and reject it. For Example, see the copy-protected symbol on the cover of the nice Romantic-Comedy "The Holiday". http://www.dvdcopyplanet.com/site_covers/The_Holiday.jpg The quote on the top of the cover says "Heartwarming". I think it it is the copy-protection that is Heartwarming and not the movie. :-) - Jos Collin _______________________________________________ Indian Libre User Group Cochin Mailing List http://www.ilug-cochin.org/mailing-list/ http://mail.ilug-cochin.org/mailman/listinfo/mailinglist_ilug-cochin.org #ilugko...@irc.freenode.net
