====== Ubuntu - CD - Rip video from DVD ======

Ripping video from a video DVD:

Check the title (play title 4): 

<code bash>
mplayer dvd://4 
</code>

It will also tell you the number of titles, chapters and other stats like frame rate (fps), bit rate (kbps), etc.

Rip DVD video:

  * Re-encode DVD video to specified AVI: <code bash>mencoder dvd://4 -ovc lavc -oac copy -o title4.avi</code>
  * Do not re-encode DVD video (just dump): <code bash>mplayer -dumpstream dvd://4 -dumpfile title4.mpeg</code>
    * (DVD original quality video. The penalty is the much larger file size.)\\ 
    * This is the same as cp /media/cdrecorder/VIDEO_TS/VTS_01_1.VOB title1.mpeg\\  
    * The DVD "VOB" file typically is an MPEG (I or II) video although all variations are not allowed.\\ 
    * Full video and sound are captured.  The DVD video format allows for multiple language sound tracks thus copying a movie released in multiple languages may have surprising audio results.
