Rip A DVD?

carlosinfl · 11-21-2006, 07:47 PM

I have a concert DVD that I purchased today from a band I love. I would like to take that DVD and rip it as .MPEG or .AVI (whatever is a basic codec most players can handle) and save it on my PC.

Is there a utility or program that will allow me to do this via Linux? I would not know if this DVD has any encryption built in to prevent this but lets just pretend it does not and can be done.

Please do not post if you have DRM or any such legalities to the table. I am the owner of this DVD and feel I have every right to back up anything I own.

Thanks all for any suggestions.

Nice one touch
DVD 2 AVI ISO Folder or remastering tool

Requirements are
mplayer
mencoder
xvid (for AVI conversion)
libdvdcss2 needed for encrypted DVDs
transcode (Allows reading the DVD menus and files)

Really? You can't do this w/o Mplayer? That sucks...

Mplayer is completely commandline based
you wont even notice it

you only need it for previewing in reality
mencoder does the conversions

I personally like DVD:RIP. I did have a slight problem with rar, but it's explained here.
