Good idea. But it's perhaps better to use something like vobcopy (I think it's apt-get'able) to create the initial DVD image, from the DVD to the hard-drive. Just mount the DVD, then it's as simple as: vobcopy -m -o . Then play it with xine (the syntax is critical): xine dvd:///path/to/dvd/image/ Or copy just title #1: vobcopy -n 1 -o . So then any player capable of playing MPEG2 should recognize that. -- Florin Andrei <a href="http://florin.myip.org/"> http://florin.myip.org/</a></blockquote><div> Thanks for all the replies! This is to rip the movies my kids would destroy, so I don't need complete DVD images./iso's. I would rather have something smaller. I'll still have the discs if I want the extras. The only thing I can imagine I would still want is 5.1 surround sound. Thoggen looks pretty good. I'm sure there's even a plug for WMP10/11for ogg files. However, Thoggen looks to be at 0.6, and the one available in the repos is at .4 for Dapper. Is there a way to install it so that package manager can do dependencies/keep track of it? Thanks again!
