Update : Has any of the WLUG'ers have some NTSC DVDs I can please borrow. I have rewritten the script to work with NTSC DVDs, and it has worked perfectly on the only NTSC DVD in my collection. Cheers!
I have written a bash script that from a directory containing vob files, will make an extremely good looking XviD dvdrip. I'd really appreciate it if you would try it out and let me know if there are any bugs. I've had great success with it. At the moment it only works on a PAL DVD source, but it the future this will be updated to make perfect rips from an NTSC source. Will also be updated to make rips of DVD's containing tv-eps.
28/12/2006 Fixed : Bug causing all files to be hidden! 27/12/2006 Added : It should now be possible to encode to XviD directly from the DVD disc, provided the DVD only has CSS encryption and nothing too fancy :) If the Supplied dir argument is a mounted DVD (cannot be written to), then the $PWD will be used as our working directory, otherwise the vob dir will be used as our working directory. Added : Added some xvidenc options to set quantization type as H.263 and to make sure that qpel and gmc are not used as these can cause problems on standalone players. 26/12/2006 Added : Title and Output Filename options are now mandatory and the script will now detect if they are missing. Fixed : Listing .vob files now working. 25/12/2006 Added : Different range of possible resolutions for the output video, depending on whether we have a WS or FS source.

Soon after typing this command mplayer will popup and start playing your chosen title from the DVD. You will notice the outline of a white rectangle that overlays the video. Basically what you want to do is to manipulate the rectangle so that it surrounds the video and crops out any black area around the video. Use the main arrow keys to move the entire rectangle and the numpad arrow keys to increase/decrease the width and height. What I recommend is.
