Re: ripping dvd

The app of choice from what I've read is Mplayer, DVD-Rip, and transcode 
using Xvid.  The tricky part is getting all that to compile since lot's 
of libraries and supporting software is required.  I wish someone would 
package the whole thing in rpms for SuSE 8.1 and let us know where to 
get it.  Including in the package the decryption library for commercial 
DVDs as well.  As a Christian, I am not going to go and rip stuff that I 
haven't paid for, so no worries there.  It is just such a pain to build 
all that software into a seamless package that will insert in SuSE 8.1 
nicely.  I sure wish they had done that with the MPlayer package they 
included in 8.1.  I'd like to have fun with the possibilities in the 
software and not lose a whole weekend trying to figure out the difficult 
build.  Too many bleeding edge CVS libs and layered stuff that isn't 
compatible with the older libraries currently in the 8.1 distro is the 
problem.  I'd love a simple straightforward tutorial in building the 
complete package to be compatible with SuSE.
