DVD Ripping....VLC, Handbrake, Linux, Windows...
by Basslord1124 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4ZG5R)
All right, this is kind of a new venture for me on Linux. But I am wanting to start converting our DVD collection to digital so I can have a backup of our movies that we have purchased over the years PLUS maybe eventually get rid of the DVDs since things are more digital and streaming now.
I have ripped some DVDs on Windows using VLC with good success. I tried to do a DVD on Linux Mint using VLC and it appeared like it didn't do anything. Just sat there, no progress bar or any indication it was doing anything...I am wondering if I missed a step. I was able to successfully convert a movie in Linux using Handbrake...but any movie since then was a failure. A couple movies I have tried in both Windows/Linux using different software both yield the same result...good video but out of sync audio, either early on in the film or further into it.
I'm kinda feeling like this is a "gamble"...might be successful, might not, just depends on the DVD and if everything else is willing to cooperate.
Anybody out there have any suggestions?
