I use Handbrake. It's about as easy as it gets for a CLI ripper, and it works great for batch processing (for ripping each title of a series disc, like the Sopranos, etc). <a href="http://handbrake.m0k.org/">http://handbrake.m0k.org/
</a> It's cross platform, and I've successfully used the Linux, windows, and Mac versions. You can specify in terms of quality, file size, format, for both audio and video. I highly recommend it. Right now, the only problem I have with it is running it in a 64 bit environment (I just switched from the x86 version of Ubuntu when I installed
7.10 on Saturday, so I haven't had much time to fix everything). <br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 10/16/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">Doug Young</b> <<a href="mailto:goofdad@gmail.com">goofdad@gmail.com
