dvd::rip is a full featured DVD copy program written in Perl. It provides
an easy to use but feature-rich Gtk+ GUI to control
almost all aspects of the ripping and transcoding process. It uses the widely known video
processing swissknife
<a href="http://www.transcoding.org/">transcode</a>
and many other Open Source tools. dvd::rip itself is licensed under
GPL / Perl Artistic License.

<h1>NEWS</h1>

<p>
<b>The latest stable version of dvd::rip is 0.98.6</b>

      Here we have a quick bugfix of the Friday 13th release... ;)
      dvd::rip crashed on initial startup when no configuration
      was found.
      <a href="/dvdrip/dist/dvdrip-0.98.6.tar.gz">dvd::rip 0.98.6 [stable]</a>
      fixes that.
      As well the Swedish and Serbian translations got some updates.
      Refer to the
      <a href="/dvdrip/changes.cipp?version=0.98.6">change log</a> for details.

  </div>

      Huh, this is a Friday 13th release ;) It fixes a bunch of bugs, many of
      them in cluster mode:
      <a href="/dvdrip/dist/dvdrip-0.98.5.tar.gz">dvd::rip 0.98.5 [stable]</a>.
      Refer to the
      <a href="/dvdrip/changes.cipp?version=0.98.5">change log</a> for details.

  <p>

  <dt>2007/03/24</dt>
  <dd>
    <ul>
      <li>
      Here we have a new release:
      <a href="/dvdrip/dist/dvdrip-0.98.4.tar.gz">dvd::rip 0.98.4 [stable]</a>.
      It fixes some smaller bugs, including the sporadic preview hanging
      bug. Please refer to the
      <a href="/dvdrip/changes.cipp?version=0.98.4">change log</a> for details.
      </li>
      <li>
      It's the first release with support for transcode's
      1.1.x branch (CVS HEAD), which will become stable in
      foreseeable time. Support is experimental, but basic
      operation seems to work quite well. Please report bugs
      if you find them.
      </li>

      Today was bug squashing day, so I'm pleased to announce this new release:
      <a href="/dvdrip/dist/dvdrip-0.98.3.tar.gz">dvd::rip 0.98.3 [stable]</a>.
      Besides a bunch of smaller bug fixes it's the first with
      a Swedish user interface, thanks to Daniel Nylander.

      Here we have a new release:
      <a href="/dvdrip/dist/dvdrip-0.98.2.tar.gz">dvd::rip 0.98.2 [stable]</a>.
      It mainly updates the Serbian translation, which is now
      available in a latin variant as well. Thanks to Filip Miletic
      for this work. Refer to the 
      <a href="/dvdrip/changes.cipp?version=0.98.2">change log</a> for details.
      </li>
      <li>
      From time to time people ask me how they could support the dvd::rip
      project, e.g. by donating some money to the author. I just created a PayPal
      account for that purpose, so if you like to support me this way,
      you're welcome ;)

      we have a new dvd::rip stable release again:

      interface.
