There are a lot of guides in our site that cover authoring a video DVD, playable in all standalone players, from various video files. However software keeps improving so we have to adjust our site's content in order to keep it updated to the latest installments. One of those, DVD Flick, an excellent open source program that makes heavy use of ffmpeg in order to convert a massive amount of different video formats and burn them to a video DVD.
In this guide we will explain in detail how to use DVD Flick, and when appropriate compare to other solutions. |

How to rip a DVD to H264/XviD using OGMRip (Linux) |
|
Thursday, 21 August 2008 |
In the past months I received quite a few emails asking me to post some
DVD to H264 (or DivX/XviD) guide for Linux. The problem however existed
in the fact that there was not a single program for Linux that I was
happy with, enough to write for it and much more, suggest it to our
users. A few weeks ago, as I was searching the internet for interesting
video applications, I found OGMRip. Installed it, ripped a few
DVDs, voila! OGMRip has a nice, clean GUI that remains easy while
containing most important options, is actively developed and works like
a charm. And don't be fooled by the name, it supports many formats and
codecs, including OGM, AVI, MP4, MKV, MOV containers and DivX, XviD,
H264 and Ogg codecs.
So lets have a look at the step-by-step guide of ripping a DVD to any
of the formats supported.

| It seems that the next generation format is finally over as more and more sources around the world confirm that Toshiba has decided to stop HD-DVD production. "First reported by the Japanese public broadcaster NHK and later confirmed by Toshiba itself, the next-gen format war between HD DVD and Blu-ray is finally over, with Toshiba planning on stopping production of HD DVD players.
The battle, which has raged on for the last couple of years, has often been compared to the Betamax-VHS battle of the MID 1980's and has slowed down the development of what movie studios hope will become a multi-billion dollar industry over the next decade. "

The final blow to HD DVD and Toshiba took place yesterday when the mammoth retailer Wal-Mart announced they would go Blu-ray exclusive beginning in June. Other recent news, such as Best Buy and Netflix's decisions to support Blu-ray must have also weighed heavily on Toshiba's decision.
"We have entered the final stage of planning to make our exit from the next generation DVD business," said a Toshiba source, who also added that an official announcement could come as early as next week.

How to rip a DVD to the hard disk using DVDFab HD Decrypter |
|
Friday, 14 December 2007 |
Most the DVD editing / converting tasks begin by ripping the DVD data
in your hard disk, for various reasons. For example, DVDs are encrypted
and by default most programs do not read these CSS encrypted files.
Ripping the DVD files to the hard disk takes care of that and speeds up
the process greatly as you only access the DVD once and then read all
the data from the hard disk which is of course much faster and reduces
the stress on your DVD drive that would have to keep working for many
hours in case you were transcoding the DVD to another format.
