lxdvdrip

The way the program works, is the streamtool is what pipes the raw data from the DVD, requanting it with the value determined earlier (1.0300, etc) You can let the program automatically determine it, or test rip with transcode as well to determine factor, which ever you seem to work better for you. I use testrip with transcode a chapter to determine factor.

the trans_par method is the fastest, it pipes everything together. you need the latest CVS of the transcode package to use it.

there is no "Deep Analysis" on this, its single pass only. Its not perfect.

a GUI for this program would make it awesome, there is so many options you can use, all the programs are open source as well, it all could be rolled into one easy to use program, without the need of having all the programs to be installed. too bad I cant program :(

Too bad that this tool cannot do it in two pass. If it could I would definitely stop using DVD Shrink via Wine and start coding a GUI for lxdvdrip.

Do you know if the author of this tools has some plans for adding "Deep Analysis" to it's software chain ?

uhm, I dont think so, Im not sure of how dvd shrink "shrinks" its dvd sizes, as far as I know, it recodes the whole movie., as to where lxdvdrip requants it, I have some movies I did do with dvd shrink, I will do one with lxdvdrip to see if there is any noticeable difference in quality, I would say dvd shrink is more reliable to fitting the dvd to a DVD-5 disk, but the ability to do it without dvd shrink (linux only) is great. you can make it exact fit, with a bit of work probably, (more math).
