dvd::rip is a all-in-one opensource DVD ripping solution for Linux that supports subtitles; XviD, DivX, VCD and SVCD video formats and AC3, Ogg Vorbis and MP3 audio formats.

Tool allows easy cropping and resizing with preview windows and easy-to-use selections. Other features of the tool include chapter splitting, several different deinterlace filters and integrated bitrate calculator. And to add something that Windows users don't have, program can be used in Linux clusters (meaning that you can use multiple computers to work on the same movie, reducing the ripping and encoding time dramatically).

Due the legislation changes in Germany, the program doesn't come bundled with a ripper that's capable of circumventing the CSS copy protection mechanism.
