Free dvd audio rippers software for linux

KungFu DVD Ripper is a GStreamer based DVD ripper.

KungFu creates backups of your DVDs, saving them as .oggs on your hard drive. It encodes the backup using patent-free codecs, Theora for video and Vorbis for audio.

KungFu is not designed for producing backups that fit within a certain file size (say, for burning onto CD); instead, it is designed to produce backups of consistent quality while maintaining the lowest average file size possible (for building a video library on your hard drive).

RipOff is a GTK+ based CD ripper for Linux (and hopefully for other Unix systems once some testing and fixing have been done) that has a simple interface, CDDB lookups, and a plugin-based encoder architecture.
RipOff CD Ripper attempts to appeal to those users who want a non-GNOME dependent CD ripper with a simple interface, or users who just dont like the interfaces of the other GTK+ CD rippers.
Enhancements:
- Added HTTP_PROXY Functionality
- Fixed a bug where for newer versions of GTK "about" dialogue windows were not closing
- FLAC plugin now supports FLAC 1.1.3
- Added an icon for RipOff
- Miscellaneous code cleanups

The Audio File Library provides a uniform and elegant API for accessing a variety of audio file formats, such as AIFF/AIFF-C, WAVE, NeXT/Sun .snd/.au, Berkeley/IRCAM/CARL Sound File, Audio Visual Research, Amiga IFF/8SVX, and NIST SPHERE. Supported compression formats are currently G.711 mu-law and A-law and IMA and MS ADPCM.

Key goals of the Audio File Library are file format transparency and data format transparency. The same calls for opening a file, accessing and manipulating audio metadata (e.g. sample rate, sample format, textual information, MIDI parameters), and reading/writing sample data will work with any supported audio file format. Likewise, the format of the audio data presented to the application need not be tied to the format of the data contained in the file.

The Audio File Library distributed under the GNU Library General Public License.

Audio::ESD is a Perl extension for talking to the Enlightened Sound Daemon.

SYNOPSIS

use Audio::ESD;
my $stream = Audio::ESD->play_stream({ # these are the defaults
sample_rate => 16000,
channels => 1,
fallback => 0,
bits_sample => 16,
encoding => linear })
or die "Failed to open ESD stream: $!n";
print $stream $data; # etcetera

This module provides a Perl wrapper around the Enlightened Sound Daemons client library. Input, output, and monitoring streams are supported, as well as some (but not all) of the control functions. Samples are supported but untested.

MPEG Audio/Video Player is a simple MPEG and AC3 player for Linux, BSD, and Windows systems.
It plays MPEG transport, program, and elementary stream files. It also has basic DVD support (using libdvdnav on Linux/BSD sytems only).
Main features:
- Runs on Windows, Linux, and BSD systems.
- Plays MPEG Transport Stream, Program Stream, and Elementary Stream files.
- Basic DVD support (with libdvdnav on Linux/BSD systems only).
- Decodes MPEG 1&2 Video, MPEG Layer 2 Audio, and AC3 audio.
- All decoders use only integer operations, for faster performance.
- Flexible, and easy to use decoders, that can decode streams in chunks as small as 1 byte (buffering is not necessary).

dvdauthor is a simple set of tools to help you author a DVD. The idea is to be able to create menus, buttons, chapters, etc, but for now you can just take an mpeg stream (as created by mplex -f 8 from mjpegtools 1.6.0) and write it to DVD.
dvdauthor is a program that will generate a DVD movie from a valid mpeg2 stream that should play when you put it in a DVD player.
To start you need mpeg files that contain the necessary DVD VOB packets. These can be generated by passing -f 8 to mplex. See the included utility makevob.
There are 3 steps to building the DVD directory structure on your HDD.
1. Delete a previously authored dvd
dvddirdel [-o dir]
WARNING! This will delete without discrimination the contents of the directory that you specify!
2. Create your titlesets
dvdauthor [-o dir] [audio/video/subpicture options] [chapters]
To create 1 chapter per mpeg, simply do
dvdauthor [-o dir] [a/v/s options] chap1.mpg chap2.mpg chap3.mpg...
To manually specify chapters, use the --chapters option
dvdauthor [-o dir] [a/v/s options] -c chap1a.mpg chap1b.mpg -c chap2a.mpg chap2b.mpg ....
To add chapters every fifteen minutes, do
dvdauthor [-o dir] [a/v/s options] -c 0,15:00,30:00,45:00,1:00:00,1:15:00... longvideo.mpg
Call dvdauthor for each titleset you want to create. Note that due to the DVD standard, all audio, video, and subpicture options must be set once for the entire titleset; i.e. you cannot mix pal and ntsc video in the same titleset. For that you must generate separate titlesets.
Run dvdauthor -h to see the audio, video, and subpicture options. Note that dvdauthor can autodetect most parameters except the language.
3. Create the table of contents
dvdauthor -T [-o dir]
Viola! You now have a DVD directory structure that will probably work! You can now write this out to your DVD, mini-DVD (CD), or just play it from your HDD. To generate the UDF image to burn to DVD, use mkisofs from cdrtools-1.11a27 or later. Simply pass it the -dvd-video option.
BTW, if you have an old HDD that you use for generating dvd images, you can create /usr/local/etc/dvdauthor.conf or ~/.dvdauthorrc and add the line:
WORKDIR=foo
Then you wont need to specify -o to dvddirgen or dvdauthor. Alternatively, you could just set
WORKDIR=mydvd
to always have it create a DVD in the current working directory.
Enhancements:
- Support of VOBUs without audio or video has been added.
- Reading from file descriptors for VOBs, palette, and XML has been implemented.
- Support for really long subtitles and for full sized PTS/SCR has been added.
- Audio type detection logic has been improved.
- Runtime memory requirement has been substantially reduced.
- YUV handling in spuunmux and subgen has been fixed.
- SVCD subtitling has been fixed.
- NTSC 3:2 pulldown handling has been fixed.
- Handling of audio packets that have no PTS has been fixed.
- Many more minor bugs have been fixed and features have been added. Documentation has been improved.

Audio::Scrobbler is a Perl interface to audioscrobbler.com/last.fm.

SYNOPSIS

use Audio::Scrobbler;

$scrob = new Audio::Scrobbler(cfg => { ... });

$scrob->handshake();
$scrob->submit(artist => "foo", album => "hello", track => "world",
length => 180);

The Audio::Scrobbler module provides a Perl interface to the track submission API of Last.fms AudioScrobbler - http://www.audioscrobbler.com/. So far, only track submissions are handled; the future plans include access to the various statistics.
