Anyone got any advice / decent guides for ripping, filtering and encoding on a purely linux (ubuntu) box?

Ideally I'd want gknot, but that's win32 only. How do you linux people rip and encode?

I haven't tried it but DVD Decrypter is supposed to work with wine.

Mplayer works almost as well:
mplayer -dumpstream dvd://N (N=title you want to rip, usually 1 for main movie)

That'll create a file named stream.dump which is basically one large vob.

For encoding/editing, the best I've found is avidemux.
http://avidemux.sourceforge.net/

It's like vdub with the filters built in.

i've setup wine before for dvddecrypter, but i figured there'd be a decent solution natively rather than introducing that bottleneck?

I think there is still no nice GUI (avidemux would be only a VDubMod replacement). I haven't checked now, but I usually do every 6 months. MeGUIx has been in development for a while and I'm still waiting. BTW, MeGUI (without the x, windows only) is really a much better GUI than gknot.

If you want to quickly encode a vcd/svcd/dvd/stream or any file mplayer can play:

inputfile=/dev/dvd
outputfile=/home/karsten/out.avi
bitrate=1200
aspect=4/3

mencoder $inputfile -o $outputfile \
-ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vhq:vbitrate=$bitrate:aspect=$aspect \
-oac mp3lame -lameopts preset=128

For a more serious dvd rip to a certain size with multiple passes and cropping you would have to beef up that commandline. But it's not that hard, man mencoder surely helps.

There is Handbrake for Linux. I've only used the win version for xvid rips so I don't know how it works on Linux.

Does Handbrake have filters like the avisynth ones?

I don't think there are any advanced filter options like some other encoders have. There's a single denoise option in the gui. But that probably activates the h264 codec denoiser.

*bump* :D

I managed to install AviSynth, GKnot & XviD under XUbuntu. VirtualDubMod works and can display XviD files with no problem. XviD settings also work. The only problem is that GKnot can't open the XviD settings dialogs. According to a site this is a Wine bug.

I'll keep you updated. :wacky:

I just ripped Cut with DVDDecrypter under WINE. It worked perfectly. :)

Mutlithreaded AviSynth does not work under Linux with wine. Because of this, I'll no longer use Linux for encoding purposes. :(

Linux is back. :) AviSynth/MT does work under Linux with Wine. All you need is 2 additional DLL files.

Edit: proof...
