DVD ripping

[Chuck Hallenbeck]

Hi Keith,

You can do that with mplayer. If you have it installed and can listen to
your dvd's, then you can capture the audio with a command that looks a
little like this:

mplayer -vc dummy -vo null -ao pcm -format 128 -aofile outputname.wav
...

You need to add more args to that command, such as a filename, a URL, or
the option to access your dvd drive, but the basics for capturing
anything that mplayer can play to a wav file called outputname.wav (or
anything else you want to call it) are there.
