As the author of dvd::rip I can't speak in an objective fashion about it, but I give my very best... ;) The problem with dvd::rip is, it's _really_ DVD centric. It has no generic support on transcode's input side (just DVD/VOB's). I think a transcode GUI would look different and dvd::rip wouldn't be a good starting point for that. This transcode GUI would do the job as a DVD transcoder as well, but probably not at the convenience level dvd::rip provides (once you're familar with it; there are of course many things which could be improved, e.g. a "simple" interface variant, which hides more details behind presets - if I had the time... ;). > (Speaking of more modern standards, when, if ever, is transcode going to > start supporting mkv containers and the x264 codec?) AFAIRC this was postponed after the 1.1.0 release, which happend about two weeks ago, so hopefully we need just a little more patience... ;) Regards, Jörn -- LINUX - Linux Is Not gnU linuX
