Handbrake works great.

I tried handbrake. The videos are covered in lines that look like interlacing. The DVDs play fine in VLC though

I've used handbrake and had both success and failures with it. like so much of Linux it gives you and immense amount of control over what you are doing and that in turn assumes that (a) you understand not only what you are doing and can express what you are trying to achieve, (b) you understand the underlying technology and the ways it can be and is being manipulated by the various tools available to you and the various different things that they are trying to achieve and also (d) you are willing to put the effort into learning how to manipulating all those parameters, understand their effects and interactions and are willing to do it on every use. My jig is more still photography than video, but its clear to me that there is a difference between, on the one hand, the point-and-shoot types out there (even if they do have a $5,000 Canon/Nikon kit) who rely on the various 'artistic' settings on the camera, and on the other the professionals (or those aspiring to be) who shoot RAW and devote their time to doing the transformation under their own control using Adobe's Camera Raw and/or Photoshop (or Darktable for Linux), with its myriad of controls and settings and the resulting output. The former requires no skill, no understanding; the latter requires a lot and even the 'experts' admit they have more to learn and need more experience. Perhaps you do need to spend 10,000 hours working with any piece of technology or toolset. I'm not sure; I think that if its a technology that uses 'patterns' rather than a 'sui generis' approach and you learn what is going on 'under the hood' that can save a lot of time. Its certainly the case with photography. I've also found it to be the case with many aspects of Linux-based computing. At this point I'd like to drag out the old quotation: http://www.zdnet.com/blog/murphy/why-many-mcses-wont-learn-linux/1137 I've used handbrake, at least in its GUI form where the various settings are more viable than in the CLI form :-) After a few (!) hours of experimentation I found a setting that worked with the DVD I was ripping so that I could view it on my tablet. I then recorded that setting for future use. That setting worked with some other DVDs nicely. But then I came across some DVDs where it didn't work. Some of those I found setting that worked to varying degrees of satisfaction but some I never got good results with.

From this I conclude that there isn’t a high degree of standardization between video DVDs produced by different methods.

That's what the docs and the Wikipedia page says.

You will need to configure it for high quality which seems to be selecting the high profile preset. The bitrate is part of the configuration and you can output to mpeg or mkv containers.

There's a lot to configure: <quote> Users are able to customise the output by altering the bit rate, maximum file size or bit rate and sample rate via “constant quality”. HandBrake also supports deinterlacing, decombing, scaling, detelecine, and cropping (both automatic and manual). </quote>

If you click on help it takes you to a web based comprehensive guide to converting your dvd's.

https://trac.handbrake.fr/wiki/HandBrakeGuide Well worth reading. In full!

I'll be interested to know what your experiences with handbrake are.

Mine have been positive. There's a LOT in there and requires commitment to experiment and determine what is best for different playback devices. -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Probably the simplest way to do it is to use a video capture device. In Windows we use a program called "Pinnacle". Early versions used a device called a "Dazzle" but later versions used their own [ rebranded Dazzle ] capture device. You connect the composite and audio outputs [ or S-video and audio ] to the device input and the output to a USB port. The program takes the input and converts it to digital video which can then be edited [ capture TV programs and edit out the commercials - add special effects etc. ]. Supposedly the Dazzle can be used with Linux but I have never had much luck. Probably one of those learning curve things that has been brought up in this thread. With some time and effort one could probably use it with something like VLC. The downside, you have to play it out real time. -- Fast is fine, but accuracy is final.

On magic DVD ripper you just put the disc in, choose a title to rip and a destination and go. Is there a program like this on linux? (Or a command to achieve the same thing)? I would prefer to rip to mkv

I have tried handbrake VLC acid rip k3b and k9copy but the videos always come out with interlacing lines or the bitrate is fixed. (same issues on ubuntu as well)

This is the only thing my linux install(s) currently cannot do that windows can. Would be nice to be able to uninstall windows 10 and free up the space on my disk.

Thanks

I sometimes have to convert one video format to another. I use "Winff" [ not Windows ff ]. Winff is a gui front end for ffmpeg. I've never tried ripping a DVD with it. -- Fast is fine, but accuracy is final.
