dvpod is a very simple wrapper script for HandBrake (specifically HandBrakeCLI) which allows for batch ripping one or more tracks from a DVD suitable for playing on a video iPod.

At a minimum you will need the following packages installed:

perl
lsdvd
eject

(if you have any sort of reasonable Linux distribution, you more than likely already have these installed)

and of course you will need to have HandBrakeCLI installed. This can be obtained from  http://handbrake.m0k.org/


Just run dvpod, pick your tracks and you are good to go!

If your DVD reader maps as a device other than /dev/dvd, you can either specify the device name with a -d switch to dvpod or just change it at the top of the dvpod source.
