dvd_rip

dvd_rip is a small DVD ripper using libmpv as its backend. It is intentionally light on features. If you need more advanced functionality, recommend to use HandBrake instead, which comes with its own command-line ripper (HandBrakeCLI).

Usage

dvd_rip [path] [options]

  -o, --output <filename>       Save to filename (default: dvd_track_##.mkv)

Track selection:
  -t, --track <#>          	Encode selected track (default: longest)
  -c, --chapter <#>[-#]         Encode chapter number or range (default: all)

Language selection:
      --alang <language>        Select audio language, two character code (default: first audio track)
      --aid <#>                 Select audio track ID
      --slang <language>	Select subtitles language, two character code (default: none)
      --sid <#>                 Select subtitles track ID

Encoding options:

  -v, --vcodec <x264|x265|vpx>	Video codec (defaut: x265)
  -q, --crf <#>			Video encoder CRF (default: use codec baseline)
  -a, --acodec <aac|opus>	Audio codec (default: AAC)
  -d, --detelecine		Detelecine video
  -e, --deinterlace		Deinterlace video

Defaults:

By default, dvd_rip will encode source to H.264 video with AAC audio in an MP4 container. If an output filename is given with a different extension, it will use the default settings. for those instead. In each case, the default presets are used as selected by the codecs as well. Note that mpv must already be built with support for these codecs, or dvd_rip will quit.

See the man page for more details.

  .mp4 - H.264 video, AAC audio
  .mkv - HEVC video, AAC audio
  .webm - VPX9 video, Opus audio
