Decent DVD-Ripping Solution For Linux?

supersloshy writes "I'm a user of Ubuntu Linux and I have been for a little while now. Recently I've been trying to copy DVDs onto a portable media player, but everything I've tried isn't working right. dvd::rip always gets the language mixed up (for example, when ripping 'Howl's Moving Castle,' one of the files it ripped to was in Japanese instead of English), Acidrip just plain isn't working for me (not recognizing a disc with spaces in its name, refusing to encode, etc.), Thoggen is having trouble with chapters (chapter 1 repeated twice for me once), and OGMRip has the audio out of sync. What I'm looking for is a reliable program to copy the movie into a single file with none of the audio or video glitches as mentioned above. Is there even such thing on Linux? If you can't think of a decent Linux-based solution, then a Windows one is fine as long as it works."

      That's nothing. I just saw a bunch of handbrake's, followed by "hot pics of a woman being fucked in the ass with a rifle". I'm familiar with rule 34 and all, but come ON.

    "I wonder if it only works so well because it was made for mac first?" Actually it was made for Be OS first.

    Handbreak is what the MPAA will do to you if they find out you use Handbrake.

    Very interesting. And I am shocked, _shocked_ to hear that Sony does disc mangling.
