>From what I understand, you want to automate a ripping process. Ripping is the easy part since you don't want to bother with encoding. In my opinion, you should had a udev line that fire up a mencoder/transcode/vlc/vobcopy/<your favourite encoder/copier> session, clean the swap and then eject the CD.
The udev manpage is quite clear on the subject, examples are all around the net. Cheers. -- Vincent-Xavier JUMEL GPG Id: 0x2E14CE70 http://thetys-retz.net Rejoignez les 5336 adhérents de l'April http://www.april.org/adherer Parinux, logiciel libre à Paris : http://www.parinux.org
