beandog's mostly dvds multimedia wiki
This wiki is a collection of notes that I've gathered over the years when it comes to accessing, ripping and encoding DVDs on Linux.
- Linux Blu-ray and DVD software - mirrors for libraries
- DVD-Video Information - best reference
- Wikibook: Inside DVD Video - a technical reference for authors, developers (must read!)
- https://github.com/beandog - my github repo
- Amazon Wishlist - please buy me a Blu-ray .. for development purposes :D
DVDs
- dvd_info - a small set of DVD utilities written in C
- dvd_copy - copy a track to fileystem or stdout
- dvd_drive_status - check if a drive is empty, polling, closed with or without a disc (Linux plus limited *BSD support)
- dvd_eject - close tray with checks to tell you when it's finished polling
- dvd_trip - a tiny DVD ripper
- dvd_player - a DVD player
- lsdvd - the original!
- Problem DVDs - library of specific DVDs that have issues
- DVD Anomalies - DVDs that have something strange (though not broken)
- Kernel Messages - documentation of various events sent to syslog
Blu-Ray
- bluray_info - print information about Blu-ray discs
- bluray_copy - dump track to filesystem or stdout (ships with bluray_info package)
- bluray_player - a Blu-ray player
