Any distro already have DVD-ripper and video converter AVI to MP4?
RodMcKay
scripts/compiling re apps, so was wondering if anyone knew of a distro
that already had a DVD ripper on it as well as a video converter for
AVI to MP4 for an MP3/video player?
i.e., I noticed that one distro could play FLV files natively,
already, yet another didn't so know that the distros vary greatly. So
perhaps there's one out there that already does these 2 things since
none of the ones I have do either.
I've been dl distros to get a feel for Linux since they all offer
different options which I can try right out-of-the-box with the
LiveCDs with little fuss or muss.
Thanks! :oD

converter, has DIVX running, and tons more goodies...
based on Ubuntu (Debian), but, fully refined and loaded for your
pleasure... Upon install, invoke all those repositories so you have
Mint, Ubuntu, and Debian access.
32,960+ files available, then...

You might want to try "k9copy" from the KDE stable. It does the rip 'n
convert quite well although you will have to 'read' the setup
instructions closely in order to achieve your targeted format. I believe
it defaults to mpeg2 which is the regular DVD format but it transcodes
the original so that you can fit a regular DVD9 to a DVD5 - double layer
to a single layer.
Check it out and play with it. I've used it for a number of years and
have had quite a bit of success with it.

Wow, kewl, thanks.
Just something I'm still shaky on, you say it's from the _KDE_ stable
(stable meaning repository?), what if we're using a GNOME-based Linux.
I'm using Fedora 11, the gnome version since I somehow couldn't
understand the KDE one.
Will this still be downloadable for Fedora Gnome 11?

With Linux apps, the letter "k" as the first letter in a name generally
shows the app to be KDE-based. However, most KDE apps can run under
Gnome as well.

Probably. Not sure, as I haven't used Fedora since Fedora Core 4.
