One can install dvd decrypter using wine.  When installing DVD
decrypter, you might want to install it under Windows NT 4.0.  You set
that in winecfg.  Remember to add the cdrom as a device in the device
tab of winecfg. Takes about the normal time for DVD Decrypter on
windows, and if you enable audio through winecfg, you get to here that
stupid song when the dvd is finished reading to iso.

There is Thoggen DVD ripper for LInux.  For thoggen, you may need to
install libdvdcss2 for things to work properly. This program takes
about 2.5 hrs a disk basically because its analoging the dvd to iso.
might be a good choice when others fail.  In hardy repos.

 AcidRip (for linux) works for converting a DVD directly to an avi
file.  located in the hardy repos.  takes about 40min for a dvd to
avi.  pretty simple app.  In the hardy repo.

DVD::rip (for linux) does DVD ripping and encoding.  Lots of features
with this app.  Takes about 35-40 min to rip a dvd to avi. It'll
output avi, ogm, mpeg1 suitable for vcd, and mpeg2 suitable for
svcd/dvd.  There are a few dependencies that are missed on install
that you may want.  You can see them via the debug tab.  located in
the hardy repos.

 Dvdbackup will extract all (or selected) titles as found on the dvd.
In the hardy repos.

Ogmrip is an application for ripping and encoding DVD into AVI, OGM,
MP4 or Matroska files using a variety of codecs. In hardy repo.

In the other direction, DeVeDe is a program to create video DVDs and
CDs (VCD, sVCD or CVD), suitables for home players, from any number of
video files, in any of the formats supported by Mplayer.  i have found
this app very easy to use.  in hardy repo.

There are others for linux Im sure, but these are all that quickly come to mind.

Off topic: Regionset is a tool I have never needed but have always
want to test out.  It lets you view and modify the region code of DVD
drives.

Im curious, has anyone tried  (for windows) DVDFab HD Decrypter
(http://www.dvdfab.com/free.htm).  It appears this software just came
out.  Might be interesting.
