This wizard will help you create high quality backups of DVD movies to XviD format.
It is supposed to be the opposite of the famous DVD:Rip tool: Easy to use, a minimal amount of adjustable settings and automatic detection of the optimal values of almost all adjustable settings. It should produce very high quality rips, even if you have no idea what the settings mean and just use it in the next-next-next-finish way.
The wizard supports title and language selection, AC3 stream copy or MP3 audio, single or two-pass encoding and automatic splitting at scene boundaries.
DVD Rip-O-Matic can also generate executable ripping scripts. This allows you to run it as a background process, end your KDE session and go to bed.
It has not been tested very well yet, so please tell me if it works for you.
Requirements:
* Kommander 1.0 ( Part of KDEWebDev package, version 3.3.x )
* Recent Transcode
* Recent MPlayer version with support for DVD reading, DVD decryption, LAME MP3 encoding and XviD encoding. MPlayer version 1.0rc5 and newer versions are known to work perfectly.
This release features a custom target size for the generated AVI file. This is very useful when you want to rip multiple titles and make them fit on a single CD or DVD.
Special thanks goes to Tijmen Collignon for having me borrow some of his messy NTSC disks.

Can you use the app as a dolphin/konqueror service menu?

Also, how about a feature that copies the dvd disk to the hard drive? Ohterwise, I have to keep the dvd disk in the drive for four hours and that is annoying.

HD copy is also possible, with the help of an external application. You should create an ISO image of the DVD on your harddisk and mount the ISO on /dev/dvd. DVD Rip-O-Matic won't see the difference with a real DVD!

Problems:
- The target file size doesn't work. When I set it to 700MB I got 515MB, and 350MB became 502MB (another file).
- It would be nice to be able to skip faster between pages.
- If I haven't selected a format that requires splitting, that page shouldn't be shown.
- There's a translation error on the cropping page.
- Suggestion: Make it possible to enter target file name and folder.
- Suggestion: Make it possible to use other folders than /dev/dvd. As it is now I have to mount dvd images to /dev/dvd or use links.
Thanks again!

Distinction between movie dvd's and music dvd's. Music DVD's offer often extra clips but all in one file, perhaps it could be possible to select you want to rip a music-track so it can cut it into different parts (like every new "scene" is a different clip, the possibility to cut the track in pieces is already there, the ammount of desired tracks is just not that much (which is good for movie DVD's, not so for concerts/musicclips).
Possibility for as-lossless-as-possible, or "open-format" ripping (in for example flac and xvid, or vorbis and theora or..., just somewhere hidden, apparently for some reason I can't play the files it creates in Kubuntu). And perhaps subtitle selection, can't remember if it does this already, it's been a while since I used it.
I know this program is ment to be just click and run and keep it simple, but I think these options could be quite usefull for people who just want to rip DVD's to their computer, but I think giving the possibility to tweak it a little shouldn't get in the way of an easy and simple approach.

If this fails on your machine, DVD Rip-O-Matic will fail as well.

In some cases, even though I can play a dvd disc with both kaffeine and kmplayer, DVD Rip-O-Matic just says it cannot find dvd's.
If I can be of any help solving this problem (supply some error logs, command outputs, etc), please let me know. It is a great app!

How do I make sure the Dutch subtitles are encoded; does it take all the subtitles or does it ignore subitles?

Your version of MPlayer does not support XviD.
Please verify if you have XviD libraries installed and if your distribution enabled XviD support in MPlayer.
But my mplayer (version 1pre07) supports xvid, it plays xid-DVDs.
What can I do for getting the program working?
awakatanka suggested to also install mencoder.
Alas, I have the same Mplayer version mizban has, I do have mencoder installed, and still I get this error...
Any clues? Thanks in advance!

Apparently, XviD encoding has been disabled in your version.

1) My mplayer (suse, packman) is compiled without divx because it's already inside:
"disabled xvid and divx4linux usage. libavcodec can do that."
Can you change the checking part of your program?
2) If you bring out a new version, how can I deinstall the old on?

Future versions of DVD Rip-O-Matic will probably add support for mplayer versions that only have libavcodec support.
Regarding uninstalling: Any new version will automatically replace the old one, uninstalling is not needed.
