I am looking for a reliable way of ripping a DVD onto hard drive. I have tried to use mencoder and transcode with and without GUIs, but I get rather mixed results (mostly video is fine, but the sound is all jumbled). The re-encoding is not a requirement, I can keep the original VOBs as long as there is some way to rip and use subtitles. I have tried and tried and to no avail.
I have had good results with dvdrip, including producing .srt subtitle files: $ rpm -qi dvdrip Name : dvdrip Relocations: (not relocatable) Version : 0.98.2 Vendor: Freshrpms.net Release : 1.fc6 Build Date: Mon 27 Nov 2006 11:47:37 AM CET Install Date: Thu 30 Nov 2006 12:04:00 AM CET Build Host: python3.freshrpms.net Group : Applications/Multimedia Source RPM: dvdrip-0.98.2-1.fc6.src.rpm Size : 2276097 License: Artistic or GPL Signature : DSA/SHA1, Mon 27 Nov 2006 11:48:01 AM CET, Key ID 692ac459e42d547b Packager : Matthias Saou <matthias@xxxxxxxxxxxx> URL : http://www.exit1.org/dvdrip/ Summary : Graphical DVD ripping and encoding tool based on transcode Description : dvd::rip is a full featured DVD copy program.
