- DirtySnachez, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8redmond? wtf.. pass the crack.
- xelnaga666, on 10/11/2007, -3/+11Might I suggest here everyone checks out the DVD Ripping tools review in this weeks Linux Action Show pod cast (ep53). http://www.linuxactionshow.com. They go into quite a few various tools including some Ive never come across such as Winki the Ripper which is now my favorite out of the lot. Its a really good overview of the popular choices on the Linux desktop.

- addisonmeeks, on 10/11/2007, -1/+8I've never been able to get VLC to produce anything useable -- great player, not so good at ripping DVDs, though -- in my personal experience, at least.
- SirDiggalot, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4A lot of recent DVD players support Divx/XviD, and not H.264. That's why I still rip to XviD. But I agree it would be nice for everything to move to H.264... eventually.
- Rhinodog8, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4if only it was mpeg4 part 10(H.264) then that would be something!
- timf, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4Finally what?
- sworoc, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2At least 60% of em must be reading this comment thread, because you're at -6 right now :)
- AdHaR, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3dugg down for making me turn my screen upside down...
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4Yeah, I'm fed up with that G/K[appname] naming structure. Gnome is cleaning itself step by step but I can't say the same to KDE.
- Fordi, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4Hm.
mencoder too hard or something? - CompIsMyRx, on 10/11/2007, -2/+4Ugh, who wants to rip a DVD to XviD? The Mpeg 4 Advanced Simple Profile (XviD) already has a very stable successor, H.264. Just install x264 and mencoder can rip DVDs to H.264 and encode them into Matroska A/V files (.mkv) with chapter support, multiple audio support, and optional subtitles.
- oobuntu, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2they've been doing some good reviews lately, often finding products that you don't hear about everyday. worth a listen
- ZephyrNinety, on 10/11/2007, -3/+5Yes! Finally! Very nice find!
- nullx42, on 10/11/2007, -3/+5Cant you do this with vlc? stream/save and encap. in to mpeg?
- taurustiger, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Mplayer usually does for me.
- trogdoor, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Have fun waiting a week for it to encode.
- xxNIRVANAxx, on 10/11/2007, -2/+3shutup
- maruchan, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Just used K9Copy a couple days ago. In addition to MPEG conversion, you can tell it to create an .iso for you, which is very convenient. And if you don't have an .iso burner or a blank DVD handy, you can play the .iso directly with VLC. Works great!
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Yeah, the LAS is a very good podcast. They listen to it every week.
- DickBreath, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Kaffeine is the first player I used that can do this. I was doing this way back in SuSE 9.1.
Even in Ubuntu 7.04, I still find Kaffeine to be the most featureful player.
Kaffeine is a KDE program, although I just ignore that and use it in GNOME. It is based on the Xine engine. - Marsolin, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1I haven't tried it in Kubuntu, but I just checked and DVD ISO Images are listed in the filetype dropdown of the Open dialog. It's possible a specific package needs to be installed. I don't have an ISO handy to try out.
- larrythedog, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1k9copy worked on a title that totally stumped every back up tool on my windows machine! I didn't have any AV sync issues although It would be great to preserve the 5.1 surround audio. Like Chris on The Linux Action Show noted, this is a great program to have for those hard to decrypt movies that more sophisticated rippers can't decrypt. It's a great little app. Hats off to the developers!
- schoate09, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2DVDFab Platinum FTW!!!!!!
The only one that decodes ArccOS - theonewho, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1How are you trying to play the iso with kaffeine? I always launch it from the terminal so if you're not doing that then give it a shot. The command is kaffeine dvd://path/to/iso (like kaffeine dvd://home/user/movie.iso)
- LANjackal, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Good find. Dugg :)
- gojeda, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1BURIED - websites that talk as soon as you open them are NOT COOL.
- Fordi, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Funny. I've yet to run across a DVD that mencoder couldn't tear apart.
Of course, you need to read the manual to know how to use it. Basically, it's:
mencoder -oac copy -ovc lavc -vf scale=-10:-1,harddup -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=2500:trell:turbo:mbd=2 dvd:// -o DVDRip.avi
There's other options, such as higher quality encoding, 2-pass encoding, autocropping and scaling, different codecs and wrappers, and the bitrate is always a YMMV thing, but that's a good generic command to convert most DVDs into basic AVIs.
Also, you can always correct AV Sync - it's just not an easy thing. My usual method is to get the lengths of the audio and video tracks, adjust the video framerate to match the audio, then use mplayer's sync adjust to figure out the preloading rate. - stonyhill, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1It's really slow. I average 65 fps with Acidrip, and only 11 fps with K9copy. Unfortunately, Acidrip seems to no longer be under active development.
Now if we could only get a GUI for the Linux version of Handbrake... - nullx42, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1http://www.wikiho.com/Rip-DVD's-With-VLC
- jeffdodson, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Does anyone out there know any good tutorials on how to do this kind of installation? I have Mac OSX. Assume I'm a dunce. I think it's called a 'command line installation' or some such. Oh, and for the apparently obligatory typo: I need a lot of hejp!
- SirDiggalot, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1You can't blame the ripping program for refusing to rip a *taebo* DVD. Jeez.
- sLydE, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1I knew as soon as I posted a comment, someone would reply with something obvious. Thanks, oobuntu!
- sLydE, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1I'm intrigued, is there any place to find all of the episodes to date? iTunes only has like 10, and their site only has a handful...
- oobuntu, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1they are all on the site e.g.
http://www.linuxactionshow.com/?cat=3&paged=7
for older ones, go to the bottom of the screen and click "older" - miyamotofreak, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Uh, can't didn't handbrake do this 2 years ago?
- maruchan, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0Dang...I couldn't get Kaffeine to play the .iso...I wonder if the Kubuntu package is compiled without support for this?
- bradleyland, on 10/11/2007, -2/+2Heh, nothing like providing evidence to support your opinion, then being dugg down. GroupThink at it's finest.
- tleonard, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0Anyone have any luck with this? Installed to Ubuntu 7.10 inside virtualbox - brand new install and the steps described above don't work. After 10-12 seconds of showing that it's working on creating the AVI file the window disappears and acts as though it has finished - although no AVI file was even created in the file system!
No luck finding a resolution for this thus far... - google01103, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0My fav, very similar to dvd95 but a little more stable in my experience. Another option is to run ripit4me under wine which also works well.
- google01103, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0Found vlc to be the only player to play .iso's without having to first mount the .iso image (with something like AceToneIso)
- maruchan, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0I don't think k9copy will run in OS X natively - it's a Linux app. Maybe there's a way, but it'd probably be easier for you to download and use Handbrake GUI: http://handbrake.m0k.org/?page_id=8
- DickBreath, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1No. It works great in GNOME. I've been using it in Ubuntu 6.10 and 7.04 without any problems. Works great. I also like AcidRip, which is just an apt-get away (or a point-click in synaptic). I use AcidRip to rip tracks to MPEG4/MP3. (I like MPEG4 video and MP3 audio so that it works both in a video iPod as well as my Archos 504 80 GB device.) I use K9Copy actually, to make smaller ISO backup DVD's that can be played in the living room DVD player without worrying about getting it scratched.
- freekycanuck, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0My two cents worth
- As one of the ten people that use KDE, I found this very useful information. I have been looking for a way to convert DVD to a nice little AVI file for a while now.
- DVD:Rip was a bit of a headache
- Mencoder is not "too hard" - but too fiddly - I am bit of a noob, and just want a nice straightforward friendly one-click GUI-based ripper for Kubuntu, and thats what this is....
thanx to the poster of this. - schestowitz, on 10/11/2007, -2/+1▀█▀ █▬█ █ ▄▄█▀▀ █ ▄▄█▀▀ ▄▄█▀▀ ▀█▀ █▄█ █▀ █ ▄█
- sqrt7744, on 10/11/2007, -2/+1come again? If true that's cool.
- Disfnord, on 10/11/2007, -2/+1Amen. ASP needs to hurry up and die already. Maybe now that youtube is starting to use H.264 for apple's ***** it will become more widespread?

I'll put it in the totaly useless basket, like k9copy and dvdrip from k3b. These linux guys should concentrate on making ONE application that WORKS, rather than a dozen that don't. - antitab, on 10/11/2007, -3/+1H.264 is the wave of the future. The increase in quality over ASP MPEG-4 is undeniable. And thanks to Apple with iTunes/QuickTime, nearly everyone can play H.264 MPEG-4. The only remote downside to this format is the processing requirement, which alienates computers older than 5 or 6 years. But that's a pretty damn good window if you ask me.
