ogmrip is an application and a set of libraries for ripping and encoding dvd into avi, ogm, mp4, or matroska files using a wide variety of codecs. it relies on mplayer, mencoder, ogmtools, mkvtoolnix, mp4box, oggenc, lame, and faac to perform its tasks.
the gui features a clean higcompliant gnome 2 interface and tries to minimize as much as possible esoteric settings. a cli client, called shrip, is also available.
