I came across a really good DVD Rip tool for linux called OGMRip yesterday. It can encode DVDs to the H264 format, which is one of the best video compression formats right now. And this tool is particularly good because it ensures best quality by adjusting resolution automatically based on our bits/pixel requirement.

If you’re using Ubuntu, the easiest way to get it is from getdeb.net’s repository. Goto terminal and use the following commands:


$ sudo -s

# echo deb http://ubuntu.org.ua/ getdeb/ >> /etc/apt/sources.list

# apt-get update

# apt-get install ogmrip

You’re done now. Now you can start the program from Applications -> Sound & Video -> DVD Encoder OGMRip. The interface is very friendly, so you won’t have any trouble with it.

Happy Ripping!
