Free dvd to software for linux

dvdtoogg is a script for converting the audio content of a DVD to a multi-channel Ogg Vorbis file. (From 2 to 6 channels are supported.)

dvdtoogg uses mplayer to find and extract DVD tracks, and uses oggenc to encode to a stereo or 5.1 Ogg Vorbis file.

I created this script because transcode is not able to rip in 5.1 channels I tried to keep this script as simple as possible. The script is just a simple frontend to player/oggenc.

There is nothing magic, but I spent many hours to find the clever way to do that. I hope this script will help you to save some time in converting DVD to OGG. If you like this script and/or if you have some comments/patches, email me.

cpdvd is a tool to transfer a DVD title to your harddisk with ease on Linux.

This tool copies all required files for a movie title from a DVD on your harddisk for further processing with libdvdreads image mode (e.g. transcode). It automatically selects the title with longest duration - but you can also pick a specific one.

The tool determines the correct title set (VTS-VOB files) for the selected title, clones the navigation information (IFO files) and extracts (decodes) the data into new video object streams.

Installation:

Unzip the file and place it in your bin path. Make sure you have installed Perl! You need at least transcode version 0.6.0pre4 and of course cpvts.

Usage:

You simply give a target directory (will be created automatically) insert a DVD and thats all:

cpdvd MyMovie

You can then run transcode with the dvd import module (-x dvd) on this directory:

transcode -i MyMovie -x dvd ...

If your DVD device is not /dev/dvd or the DVD mount point is not /dvd then you must specify the following options:

cpdvd -d /dev/mydvddevice -m /my/dvd/mointpoint MyMovie

or set the DVD_MOUNT and DVD_DEV environment variables.

If you want to copy another title or the main title guess was wrong then you can pick a title with the -t option:

cpdvd -t 2 MyMovie

With the -i option you will receive information on all titles of a disc and the guess which title is the main title:

cpdvd -i

TkDVD is a GUI for growisofs, which is a part of dvd+rw-tools. TkDVD project allows burning DVD+R/RW and -R/RW discs easily.
Main features:
- View the current command line passed to growisofs with options and file listing
- Burn DVD from iso images
- Create ISO images from files
- Can overburn DVD
- Support multi-sessions DVD
- Add/delete/exclude file/directories and show current used space
- can keep directory structure
- options to choose iso9660 filesystem extension (like Joliet or RockRidge extensions)
- Prevent burning if used space > DVD+R/RW capacity
- show output of growisofs/mkisofs to view burned % and estimated remaining time
Enhancements:
- A bug when burning a multisession DVD was fixed: the -Z option was passed to growisofs in addition to -M, although just -M is enough.
- The French translation was updated.
- A German translation was added.

FPPdvdmkv project is a tutorial and collection of scripts that create an MKV video container file from a DVD-Video disc in a few passes.

dvd2avi is a simple graphical tool to help you backup your DVDs under Linux. After a long period of coding and testing, I finally succeeded to issue well usable and handy version of dvd2avi which I hope will help you.

dvd2avi is meant to help you put together a comandline for conversion from DVD title to AVI divx file. dvd2avi uses mencoder for its fast and reliable job, and lsdvd for getting the information about the source DVD.

dvdmenuauthor project makes it easy and efficient to author a DVD with menus in an indirect (non-WYSIWYG) way. An XML project file drives the DVD authoring, from which both menus and a dvdauthor XML file are generated.

dvdauthor and spumux are then used to author the DVD filesystem. Menu items (buttons and static items such as images and text) can be specified conscisely in the project XML file with LaTeX markup (to be processed by pdfLaTeX and rendered by xpdf).
