How to rip DVD subtitles to .srt
Friday, 29 August 2008
I guess you'll agree with me that most DVD ripping tools out there handle video and audio pretty well but unfortunately just do not manage subtitles that good at all. They either "burn" the subtitles on the video which means you cannot turn them off or create .sub files. In the other hand, .srt subtitles is much more handy than any of the choices above. It's plain text, so it is small sized and can be formated by the player to the liking of the user. Also it is very easy to merge in containers like mkv so that you can have video, audio and subtitles in one file.

So the best solution is to create the video file using the DVD rip program of your choice and then rip the subtitles using something else. In this guide we will use one of the most popular programs that can do this task, SubRip.

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.
