Tuxrip is a Linux bash script for ripping and encoding DVD in mpeg4 format (XviD, libavcodec). It uses a text based interface very easy to use and will work on most Linux distributions. The compressed video file can be viewed on all OS.
Its features are :
- Automatic detection of the DVD name
- Ripping and decrypting the DVD on the hard drive
- Video encoding in mpeg4 format (libavcodec or XviD),
- Audio encoding in OggVorbis format
- Use of the ogg container format, allowing several audio streams and text subtitles
- Détection automatique et élimination des bandes noires,
- Automatic detection of the aspect ratio of the movie
- Calculates resolution for given filesize and image quality
- Optional quality reduction for encoding credits
- Encodes in any final file size (e.g. allows encoding on several CD)
- Optional compressibility check to determine the optimal quality on a sample of the movie
- Audio/Video mixing and synchronizing
- Automatic detection of NTSC/PAL DVD and deinterlacing
- Encoding can be interrupted at various steps and resume
- Automatically system shutdown after encoding
- Test mode : to encode only one chapter
- Burn mode : automatically writes the video file after encoding
- English and French interface
- Can encode a movie with several audio streams (--multiaudio mode),
- Can backup an entire DVD (--clone mode) and this backup can be used subsequently to do the encoding (--source mode),
- Automatic detection (or forced using --split) of fat16/32 partitions (splits movie into 1GB vob files).
New functions will be added in the future : joblist, subtitles, chaptering, use without X.
