Howdy, all. As a weekend project, I created 'rippit', a super simple no-frills command line CD ripper. It aims to take zero parameters and produce lossless rips in .flac format, properly tagged with musicbrainz, etc. In the future, I plan on extending it to also rip DVDs in the same fashion. i.e. type 'rippit' and it finds your DVD drive and starts ripping the video to some free format like mkv, theora, or somesuch. Haven't decided yet.. Rippit is built entirely using gstreamer packages that are available in Fedora. When I add DVD support, I plan on making the relevant non-free decoders and elements accessible via rpmfusion.org a pure runtime dependency. No linking, no failure to compile, etc. As such, it doesn't directly do anything more than what you can do via gst-launch. When dvd ripping is later added, would this put rippit at risk of not being included in fedora (and potentially other copyright-wary distros)? I can't imagine it would, since you can achieve exactly the same result that rippit provides (in the future) by running gst-launch. -- Trever Fischer (tdfischer) Fedora Ambassador, KDE Hacker http://wm161.net GPG: C40F2998 hkp://wwwkeys.pgp.net -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
