Tuxrip (http://tuxrip.free.fr) is a Linux bash script for ripping and encoding DVD titles in mpeg4 format (DivX, XviD, FFmpeg libavcodec). It uses ogg or matroska as containers. Matroska allows you to mux video, audio streams but also compressed subtitles and chaptering.


30/03/2004 tuxrip 0.97 is out :
* a --debug mode to display all error messages coming from the used commands.
* checks transperl.pl is available when using mode --xvidtrans.

29/03/2004 tuxrip 0.96 is out :
* checks supermount when the dvd is unmounted when using mode --clone.
* deinterlacing potentially used in mode --xvidtrans.
* compatibility between modes --subtitle and --source.
* small fix when testing the presence of the DVD in the drive.
* subtitles are muxed in matroska container and are automatically compressed (zlib).
* --xvidtrans mode to interact with the transperl plugin (1) written by CREX.
* checks Display Aspect Ratio (if any detection conflict between mplayer and tcprobe, choice is asked).
* chaptering in matroska container
* bugfix choice of resolution after compressibility check.

(1) The transperl plugin written by CREX allows encoding with transcode, and all Xvid parameters can be set up using xvid4conf. This script forces the use of fast resize.

I just want to emphasize the use of xvid4conf under Linux (kudos to CREX, the author of the transperl plugin), which allows the user to tweak all options of the Xvid codec. Powerippers will appreciate :)

Looks like a wonderfull program, but eh... how to use the output of xvid4conf? I can't seem to find it in the documentation. All it says is to enter the config of xvid with ./tuxrip --config manually.

<edit> ./tuxrip --help does really help here :D . Problem solved. </edit>

Hi
Sorry for this late answer, and I am glad you found the solution.

Just a note : now the alsa9 audio output does not work with latest version of mplayer, use alsa1x instead (edit .tuxriprc file)
This will be updated in the next version.
