dvd_trip

dvd_trip is a tiny DVD ripper. It is tiny because it has a subset of DVD ripper options.

I originally wrote it as a proof-of-concept and a way to use libmpv's backend for coding. It's good to use if you want to see what a DVD track would look like with some generic settings for encoding, a quick way to get in and out. If you like the way it works, awesome. :)

What it does:

• requires no arguments, will rip the longest track to trip_encode.mkv by default
• rips the video track plus one audio track
• can select audio track by language or track id
• one fixed output based on output filename extension
• .mkv - H.265 (x265) AAC (fdk-aac)
• .mp4 - H.264 (x264) AAC (fdk-aac)
• .webm - VPX9 Opus
• .ogv - Theora Vorbis
• sets output frames per second and color settings based on source (PAL / NTSC)
• deinterlacing
• detelecining
• simple presets based on my preferences related to quality: low, medium, high, insane; default is medium

What it does not do:

• subtitles
• multiple audio streams
• auto-cropping
• add specific codec parameters
• pass video or audio through

I recommend using something like HandBrake for more advanced options.
