Because what the ***** is Matroska and what can play it? With AVI people know what to play it with and the codecs.
Anyways back to the article, yeah just use dvd::rip, its just as easy as in windows!
To the "Dude...***** Linux." person, enjoy ripping in windows xp b/c you probably won't be able to when Vista comes out! - icheyne, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2dvd::rip is way easier than this.
http://www.exit1.org/dvdrip/ - jasdev, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1im planning to have linux the next time i reinstall the OS but reading the guide made hyperventilate. SAY WHAT dvd ripping in linux. This is *****
- crickert, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I'm a big linux advocate/user but absolutely think that guide is a disaster. Using that guide is like cutting your lawn with a scissors instead of a riding lawn mower. People that I've successfully migrated to the linux desktop would have a hemmorage if I told them this was the way to rip a dvd. It's 2005 - it's ok to use a gui to do complete a linux based task. I was reading and using these ***** same how-tos 5 years ago. Obviously this guide was written by some retard who just started using linux and wanted to prove to everyone that you can use the command line.

http://k9copy.free.fr/ - K9Copy
http://dvdshrink.sourceforge.net/ - xdvdshrink

did they just take the site down? i get connections refused. - hypershadow147, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I've actually been using dvd:rip for encoding and mencoder for ripping subtitles for a while now, and ripping under linux was actually a lot easier to do, in my opinion, than any of the programs that I've tried on Windows.
- zephyrsyndicate, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I love how this comes right after the bit about Macrovision doing a cease & desist. :)
- l124rd, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Unfortunately I cannot digg this DVD ripping tutorial. It is one of the thousands (I would guess) mencoder dvd ripping tutorials and is not by any means the best I've seen.
- boscorelle, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0gotta love dvd ripping
- mikeroySoft, on 10/19/2009, -0/+0"rip the DVD"
just the one? - JimXugle, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0now whats the code to format a video file to the PSP/5G iPod format?
anyone?
oh yeh... lossless command:
dd if=/media/cdrom0 of=/home/$USER/Desktop/movie.iso
modify if=/media/cdrom0 as needed
To watch the movie in Mplayer (or Kaffeine):
mkdir /home/$USER/Desktop/DVD && mount /home/$USER/Desktop/movie.iso /home/$USER/Desktop/DVD -t iso9660
and then popint the player to /home/$USER/Desktop/DVD for the DVD drive. - EmmEff, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0There are better scripts... not sure why this one should is here.
- rylz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I still don't understand why people insist on ripping DVDs to avis. AVI limits you to basically the capabilities of VHS. Matroska is a much more modern container format which it actually makes since to rip to.
- fastfood15, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1i dont inderstand that *****, but i dugg it anyway
- eclectro, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Digging this just because I hate Macrovision.
- HerbSolo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I managed to get DVDshrink to run with wine - wasn't even hard to do.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Live CD, anyone?
Assume hardware has one CD-ROM, one DVD-ROM and one DVD burner. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0> oh so this is by steps? Who dont you just get windows..
Has it ever occurred to you that you just might be a poor advocate? Perhaps you should consider not saying anything at all (it is perfectly fine to be smug in your abilities... just keep it to yourself for the benefit of the movement, eh?).
I see DVD archival copying as one of those "killer apps" that just might get people to start using Linux. I'm personally surprised that some enterprising Linux vendor out there hasn't realized this and started a small (business card sized) Live CD distribution... they could even target it for specific hardware (Dell GX260, HP Pavilion, Gateway... etc.) and get corporate sponsorship for specific applications (system recovery, DVD archive copying, system diagnostics and testing, etc.) - thechitowncubs, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0crickert: why is the command line so obsolete?
- zone, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0is there a dvdshrink-like app for linux?
- wax4213, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Another question for you crickert, as a linux newbie, I was wondering which program you prefer to use. Dvd::rip and acidrip were both mentioned before.
- reclusivemonkey, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I use;
http://ogmrip.sourceforge.net/ - ibis, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Try them both and see which one you like more. I personally use dvd::rip, but I've got acidrip as well. I don't tend to rip dvds often enough to have formed a real preference.
- jdong, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Good, straightforward guide... dugg.
- sgtstadanko, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0works. but using acidrip is muuuuch easier. its basically a gui for a lot of these commands. check it out over @ http://untrepid.com/acidrip/
- MrDiaz, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0oh so this is by steps? Who dont you just get windows..
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -5/+0UGH! Why bother. Just either setup dvdshrink under wine (if you can get it working) or freaking use windows and dvdshrink/dvd decrypter..
Linux blows so bad with anything multimedia. Who but the most stalwart basement geek is going to want to spend so much time trying to get crap to work properly, when very good applications with solid GUI's already exist?
... - charliepolk, on 10/12/2007, -5/+0Dude...***** Linux.
