Free dvd ripper wizard 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).

Script Wizard (a.k.a. ScriptWiz, or simply SWiz) is a small application that will help you with the installation of cool scripts on your website (or will die trying). This project is written in Python. It is web-based. It is simple to use.
To the unexperienced user, the installation of web applications may seem confusing. To the experienced user it is plain annoying. Script Wizards goal is to help both groups, by introducing a single, easy to use, web installer, allowing you to streamline the deployment of different web scripts. Whats more, SWiz takes into consideration the settings of your specific hosting provider, supplying you with provider-specific help on the way.
Enhancements:
- This release adds an Xoops installation module.
- It adds a Coppermine installation module.

FDMS-3 Ripper is a Perl program for extracting the tracks from the FDMS-3 filesystem. I recently bought a Fostex FD-8 multitrack hard disk recorder for recording music. It works great, but I was disappointed to discover that, although it uses a standard external SCSI hard disk, there was no way to "rip" the recorded tracks from the hard drive to my PC over the SCSI port. The alternatives were to use the analog-out to re-record each track using my soundcard (resulting in loss of quality and loss of synch between tracks), or buying a $500 ADAT card for my PC.

I decided that I would try to figure out a way to rip the music directly over the SCSI port. The FD-8 uses a proprietary Fostex filesystem, FDMS-3. I decided to hook it up to my PC and probed the drive. I was able to figure out the basic layout of the filesystem pretty quickly. Note: this is designed to hard disks formatted in the FDMS-3 "Mastering" mode, which stores the audio data in uncompressed format.

In order to use the program, you will need to take the hard disk that has the FDMS-3 filesystem on it and hook it up to your PC (mine is a SCSI drive -- dont know if this will work with one of the internal IDE drives you can hook up to the FD-8). Make sure that Linux can see the drive (dont try to mount it, though!). You might want to have a look at SCSI-2.4-HOWTO to get the drive recognized. My external hard disk is located at "/dev/sda", but yours could end up elsewhere.

Next, you need to make sure you have the following on your system: perl, sox and fileutils (for the "dd" utility). Security Warning Unfortunately, this program presents significant security issues, so be careful with it. The script needs to be able to access the hard disk directly, so you can either run it as root (not safe), or change the permissons for the hard disk device (in my case, "/dev/sda"). Run the program with "./fdms3rip /dev/sda" (substituting the actual location of your hard disk).

This will list all of the programs present on the hard disk. Then, run it again with the number of the program you want to fetch off the hard disk: "./fdms3rip /dev/sda 5" to get all of the recorded tracks for program number 5. After waiting a bit, you should now have a bunch of WAV files on your Linux machine. Warning This program will create and erase files with the names "dir" and "header" in the directory it is run from. It would be best to run this program from a clean directory, just to make sure there are no problems.

RSS Ripper project is a set of Python scripts that rewrites RSS feeds as required for better ease of use. After the rip and rewrite, the new RSS feed is uploaded to your FTP server for your own private re-subscription.

Example Usage:

Rename digg_ripper.py-dist

mv digg_ripper.py-dist digg_ripper.py

Edit the FTP values at the top of the script to point to your own FTP.

FTP_HOST = example.com
FTP_USER = username
FTP_PASS = password
FTP_DIR = ~/path/to/public_html

Run it:

python digg_ripper.py

or

./digg_ripper.py

You may want to add a cron job:

0 * * * * /path/to/rss_ripper/digg_ripper.py >/dev/null 2>&1

And finally you can subscribe to your own custom rss feed.

Package Wizard is a very useful tool that creates rpm, Debian and Slackware packages.
You need to install the Kommander (1.1) before:
http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=12865
(it is the part of the kdewebdev3 package on SUSE),
and the checkinstall utility:
http://asic-linux.com.mx/~izto/checkinstall/download.php
The general rpm, Debian and Slackware package includes a service menu, so you can start it from the KDE context menu (section Actions).
TODO:
- Define alternetive for gcc and qt.
- Improve the check function before checkinstall.
Known bugs:
- After qmake, the file list display is not refreshed.
- The error messages are not redirected to the integrated konsole during ./configure.
- The error detection after compilation is not complete.
- Some problems maybe present for non-root users.
- Time stamp problems (during checkinstall) may be present on old rpm based systems.
Enhancements:
- The error detection after compilation is complete.
- Sound effects added.
- Simplified checkinstall/debhelper frontend.
- New buttons: Make clean, remove the directory debian/ from the source.

MMSRIP is a pure useless program which allows you to save on your hard-disk the content being streamed by an MMS server.
This program has been written for personnal use, so dont blame me if you think I am stupid doing such tool for the others.
MMS Ripper project should run on every POSIX compliant Operating System, but I cant give you any complete list.
MMSRIP is a client for the proprietary protocol MMS://.
It actually saves to a file the content being streamed. Please remember that this is not intended for real use, its existence is only and must only be documentary.
Enhancements:
- This release introduces many improvements and bugfixes such as a workaround for recalcitrant MMS servers, a switch which enables debug output and the display of the ripping speed.
- You may also compile MMSRIP on Solaris, Cygwin, and Win32 now.
