Hi all !

I'm actually rewriting ripdvd in python, providing a better user interface, less dependencies and (I hope) less bugs.

Progress is actually around 50%, but a big break is coming (holidays !). I hope I'll be able to provide the new ripdvd in python soon.

You still can send bug reports and patches for the actual "bash" version of ripdvd.

Have fun !

Hi all :)

A small bugfix release again ;)
Check the changelog below with a special attention to the "INFORMATIONS"

2.0.4 - 01/04/2008
* BUGFIX
* ripdvd: don't call print_cmd() from main menu, wait until all params are
parsed
* encode(): created a TURBO variable to use when in 2-pass mode
* set_video_codec_opts(): added different TURBO values depending on the
codec. Thanks to Grozdan's "fine eyes" ;-)
* print_cmd(): added a call to the check_parameters() function and removed
the local check for audio id
* MODIFICATIONS:
* set_video_codec_opts(): improved x264 codec options. Thanks to Grozdan
for the advice
* INFORMATIONS:
* about MPlayer: I've upgraded from 1.0rc1 to 1.0rc2-4.2.3 not so long ago.
Some options or filters have been changed between these releases and you
might (or maybe I will ;p) experience side effects into ripdvd. If you do,
please tell me so I can correct this as soon as possible
* about RipDVD: I'm actually feeling that ripdvd has become too complex and
too wide to evolve in a such limited language like bash (which is great
anyway :-D). That's why I've started to rewrite it from scratch in python
and I probably won't add anymore features into actual ripdvd. If everything
goes ok with python, then I'll probably be able to upload the first release
of pyRipDVD within a month (maybe two ...), including the few missing
features users have requested. Of course, small improvements and bugfix
will still be coded into ripdvd in order to make it better before python
comes ! ;)... read more

Hi all !

Release 2.0.3 is available to download.
A small bugfix release with little improvements of video codecs options :)

See the Changelog below:

2.0.3 - 31/03/2008
* BUGFIX
* ripdvd: fixed wrong actions with option -r
* update_config(): fixed possible bogus substitutions
* extract_dvd_infos(): fixed possible bogus "identify" commands (it seems
Mplayer 1.0rc2 doesn't stop when using an unexistant video driver, while
1.0rc1 did)
* MODIFICATIONS
* set_video_codec_opts(): improved codec options. Many thanks to Grozdan
Nikolov for the discussions about all this, even if we don't agree on
everything (yet ;-p)
* OTHER
* Changelog: apologies to Aleksey for scratching his name ;)... read more

Hi all :)

This is a bug correction release ;)

2.0.2 - 26/03/2008
* MODIFICAITONS
* set_video_codec_opts(): xvid is no longer default video codec
* BUGFIX
* modify_conf(): corrected option 7, display of 7.2, added forgotten
"break" commands into the "case" statements and a call to set_vid_opts()
function. Option 8, audio and video menus were messed up, disable cartoon
mode if x264 is selected. Option 12: cartoon mode is only available for
xvid codec, cartoon and deinterlace options to display are chosen from
previous value, call set_video_codec_opts() after modifications
* set_conf(): don't ask for audio and video codecs if they are already set
* ripdvd: suppressed call to test_deps() before calling set_conf()
* install.sh: corrected for bash autocompletion support. Thanks to Martin
Matusiak again ;)... read more
