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."
Thoggen is good, it works just perfectly, just search in synaptic. And obviously you will need libdvdcss.

As much as I love Christian Bale, nothing wrong with the Japanese in this movie, of course, if you also didn't rip the subtitles, that might be an issue.

Never had a problem with it.
Reality must take precedence over public relations, for nature cannot be fooled.
But H264 is a patented codec, so they can fuck off. Support open codecs, help make patents worthless.
Promote true freedom - support standards and interoperability.
