OGMRip is an application and a set of libraries for ripping and encoding DVD into AVI, OGM, MP4, or Matroska files using a wide variety of codecs. It relies on mplayer, mencoder, ogmtools, mkvtoolnix, mp4box, oggenc, lame, and faac to perform its tasks.
The GUI features a clean HIG-compliant GNOME 2 interface and tries to minimize as much as possible esoteric settings. A CLI client, called shRip, is also available.
