Interesting. Anything is better than the broken horror show that is dvd::rip.

Get Thoggen, and leave your DVDs at home (Linux.com) Posted Mar 29, 2006 18:11 UTC (Wed) by JoeF (subscriber, #4486) [Link] Indeed. I have to try this one...
Get Thoggen, and leave your DVDs at home (Linux.com) Posted Mar 29, 2006 18:33 UTC (Wed) by boudewijn (subscriber, #14185) [Link] I just tried it (there's a package in Kubuntu) and it beautifully ripped the first five seconds of mydvd of The Court Jester and then it stopped the dvd player and ripped 60 frames per second of black nothingness. Some more investigation is indicated, since I do want to backup my small dvd collection -- those things are fragile!

This is the second time I have seen this sort of reaction to dvd::rip. That is really too bad. I happen to like dvd::rip, I find that it does exactly what I tell it to do and its limitations have more to do with transcode then with dvd::rip itself. Combine that with the fact that dvd::rip is still actively developed on, it is still the best game in town for dvd ripping. And since I have a strong perl background I even have a chance at understanding the code. It is almost time for a Grump Editor's guide to dvd rippers.
Get Thoggen, and leave your DVDs at home (Linux.com) Posted Mar 30, 2006 3:14 UTC (Thu) by yokem_55 (subscriber, #10498) [Link] Unfortunately the editor of this fine publication lives in a jurisdiction where the ripping of dvd's is a crime.....
Illegal? Posted Mar 30, 2006 5:23 UTC (Thu) by man_ls (subscriber, #15091) [Link] Not necessarily. And besides, linux.com belongs to OSTG and comes therefore from the same jurisdiction as LWN.net, isn't it so?
Get Thoggen, and leave your DVDs at home (Linux.com) Posted Mar 30, 2006 12:32 UTC (Thu) by Klavs (subscriber, #10563) [Link] Well - not if the editor were to test it on the DVD released with a history of Open Source (Starring Linus, RMS and others) which was not encumbered in any way, and thus should be legal to rip. Don't remember the name right now unfortunately :(

I have it...It is called Revolution OS: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000A9GLO/103-4492863-2... It is region free and without CSS encoding. Good stuff, except for Stallman singing ;-)
