On Debian based Linux distributions, e.g. Debian Sarge, Fervent-STG, and so
forth, I find the following two command line programs very useful for
extracting and manipulating DVD contents:
dvdbackup (to get the info on the hard drive)
ffmpeg (for audio and/or video transcoding/format conversion)
They are usually supplied with the distribution itself. You may need to add
deCSS depending on your region. Otherwise the dependency issues are not too
bad, unlike dvd::rip
The manual (man) pages are also reasonably complete and clear.
Good luck,

The problem with all of these applications is that they downmix the
audio down to stereo when storing to a wav file.
Do you know if the tccat/tcdecode/tcextract command will save the
individual tracks (interleaved or otherwise)?
Thanks,

dvdrip refuses to work on my distribution.
mmh then there's the chance that tcdemux & tcdecode won't work either. -
usually you get those as dependency to dvd::rip. - see.

I'm sure that you can also use mplayer/mencoder or some ffmpeg command
line to do the same job.. gstreamer too..
Is there a chance you could
tell me what the tcdemux | tcdecode scripts would be to extract the audio?
sorry, I did not have my dvd drive with me.. now I do.
how are your command line skills? dvd::rip does a lot of fancy piping (
`man tee` -> man dvdrip-multitee ? :) ) - the command that does ripping
& demux is several pages long (includes 100 subtitle commands)...
It boils down to sth like this:
tccat -t dvd -T 1,-1,1 -i \/dev\/scsi\/host8\/bus0\/target0\/lun0\/cd |
tcextract -a 0 -x ac3 -t vob | tcdecode -x ac3 | tcscan -x pcm
adjust the device to match your DVD-ROM. and replace the last step " |
tcscan -x pcm" with " > ripped-audio.pcm" to write the audio into a
file; or use " | tee ripped-audio.pcm | tcscan -x pcm" to write to a
file and scan for peak values..
use sox or rezound or ... to convert the pcm into your favorite format!
good luck,
