Create disk images from DVD movies for longer playback
Authored by: macemoneta on Apr 04, '03 01:32:01PM

You can use mencoder, which is part of mplayer to encode the DVD to any format that mplayer supports (mpeg, divx). It take about as long to encode the movie as it does to play it (depending on the machine you're encode with, of course :-), and the quality is nearly identical to the original DVD.

You can fit DOZENS of movies on your HD (about 15 movies per 10GB). It really is great for travel.
