Ubuntu Multimedia :: Rip DVD To A Single VOB?
Aug 4, 2010
I'm trying to rip a bunch of DVDs to my HTPC. I'm a bit of a quality fiend, and since I have 2TB of hard drive space, I want to rip straight to raw VOB files (that, and it's WAY faster than transcoding). So far, I've tried several methods:
vobcopy -l -t movie
This DOES create a single file. However, when it is played, the seek is limited to the length of the first VOB file. For instance, one of my movies starts with an 8 second VOB followed by 4 other larger files. When playing, I can only seek within that 8 seconds.
dvdcopy and cat/mpgcat/vobcat
Same issues. Using cat gives seeking issues - limited to the first VOB's length. mpgcat complains that the audio tracks of each VOBs on the disc are of different bitrates, and I have to force the rip. The completed file once again has seek issues.
I'd LIKE to do this from the command line. Also, I am actually ripping ISOs. I originally ripped my DVDs to my drive as complete images, but now I just want the main feature. So, if you have any better ideas with dealing with the raw files, that would be better.

I am using DVD::rip to convert some instructional DVD's to .avi (xvid + mp3). I have never used this app before but its seems fairly straight forward and easy to use. I am able to convert 1 title from the DVD to 1 avi file. One DVD however has 19 titles which vary from 3-5 minutes in length. My question is, can I convert all or at least some titles to a single .avi file and if so how?

I have question about the UNIX sockets. my goal is to connect multiple sockets from a single client to a single server and keep them open...I'm not sure if that is possible to create or not. Do you have any suggestion or an example of code?

I copy all music to a single location (~/music) which makes it easier to backup and manage.However, Rhythmbox looks for music both here, and under the purchased music folder, which means that any music I have purchased gets listed twice - once from my music folder, and once from the purchased music folder.I have tried using gconf-editor to change apps/rhythmbox/library_locations to only include my music folder, however when next I restart Rhythmbox, the setting reverts to also including the purchased music folder.Is there a way of preventing this from happening?I only want "~/music" listed for library locations - I do not wish to include "~/.local/share/ubuntuone/Purchased%20from%20Ubuntu%20One".

One recurring issue I seem to have is that whenever I use rhythmbox, I'll play a song that I like as I edit my music library to my liking. Sometimes though, rhythmbox seems to register my single-click on a song as a double-click, and it will start playing it. Anyone else have this issue? It's not really that big of a deal, but if I were ever to have a party at my place,

Every time I right click on my CD/DVD with my DVD+RW popped in the drive, it freezes for like 10 minutes and then it unfreezes with nothing happening.I think I formatted it before using ImgBurn but when I did it went from 4.7GB capacity to 3GB. Is it possible that I accidentally turned my double-layered DVD to single-layer? If so is there a way to turn it back to double-layer?

I prefer to use the single-click behavior under KDE 4.4.5 / Squeeze / AMD64. All KDE applications honor the single-click settings, but GTK-based applications don't. Is there a way to configure GTK so that all file dialogs are indeed single-click?

I've seen a lot of documents which use a really beautiful font. This is an example:[url] I mean the font which is used for "Problems", 'The area of a regular...'. Well, I found out that it's somehow called TeX font and I tried to download it. Unfortunately, this is font is separated in many, many files (Italic, Bold, Standard, Italic Bold, Math symbols, other symbols ...). It's horrible, because I would just like to use that font in OpenOffice. I wouldn't like to still change the style by choosing another font. Is there a place where I can download the combined TTF file? So I would just have the bold, italic, math symbols and other symbols in one font without having to choose the different one to just change a style or to enter a copyright sign?

I have an Ubuntu install on an 8Gb SDHC Card, customized for my Toshiba NB205. It took quite a bit to get sound and BT working, but now it's fine. Just out of curiousity, I used this same SDHC Card to boot my Dell D610 -- it booted, and sound and WiFi worked fine. I was surprised. There was a single error message after the desktop appeared, but I didn't record it.
I am now wondering: is it practical to use a single USB installation with multiple devices? I can imagine a number of complications, but was surprised that my attempt worked on two very different hardware platforms. There was discussion, when pendrives first appeared, of being able to use one to boot any PC to your own USB-based OS, bypassing any other OS installed on the PC.

How do you format a single directory?
I need it for my backup flash disk. I use it for windows and Ubuntu pc's and use rsync to sync it, but I think the Modification times are getting mixed up as my flash drive is formatted in fat32. So I would like to format a single directory into ext4.

How do I get into Single User Mode in 10.04?
The grub menu seems to be gone in 10.04, and the computer boots in 2 seconds. It's great that it boots fast, but there has to be some way to specify boot options?
/etc/default/grub says the timeout is 10, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

I have a quick question that I haven't been able to find an answer for so far. Is it possible to 'hide' a user from the user list in gdm? Note that I don't want to remove it entirely, I just want a user that you can only get into by clicking 'other', entering your name and password.

I'm running mythbuntu on 10.04 with an AMD athlon and nvidia geforce4 (nvidia-96) graphics. Shortly into the boot procedure, the system appears to switch into single user mode, killing all the processes I want running and dropping me into the recovery menu.
On 20 Nov I was having problems booting the system, which I traced to a probably loose sata cable to the (single) hard drive. While working on this I performed a normal system update, and then started having the problem described above. the update included
menu 2.1.43ubuntu1
libc-bin 2.11.1-0ubuntu7.5
plymouth 0.8.2-2ubuntu2.1
grub-pc 1.98-1ubuntu8
xserver-xorg-core 2:1.7.6-2ubuntu7.4
initramfs-tools 0.92bubuntu78

My primary Ubuntu server has SSH exposed to the internet so I can remotely access it. I have configured OpenSSH to use only RSA key authentication. Each computer I use has a separate RSA key unique to it. I also have a unique RSA key on a USB thumb-drive I carry with me. The purpose of the USB key is for emergencies if I have to access the server from some remote system. The problem is that I may not trust the remote machine (university/public library computer for example).
What I would like to do is have a set of one-time use RSA keys that, after I log in to SSH with them, are removed from the authorized_keys file. This would hopefully keep my system safe even if the remote machine I was using was compromised and had copied my private key and key-logged the password I used to decrypt it. I would like to have these keys be separate from the keys I have for my trusted computers.

I currently have a dual boot of Windows Vista and Ubuntu 9.10. I only had Vista purely for playing games, and using certain applications, but recently I decided that I could just configure Wine to work on my system. I was wondering if it was possible to extend the Ubuntu partition as it is over the whole drive, so that I don't lose all my stuff from Ubuntu. Or should I just keep it dual boot, for those few programs that Wine doesn't have quite down? I know this might not have much to do with anything, but I have an NVidia GFX card.

Is it possible to cherry pick packages from a PPA? The problem I'm having is that I'm getting thunderbird 3 from the ubuntu-mozilla-daily PPA, but by adding that to my sources, it is also upgrading firefox. Is there a way to get thunderbird 3 only and stop it upgrading firefox?

I'm slightly puzzled trying to change the icon on my single "gnome main menu" button. I've added it to a panel and gone to gconf-editor aps>panel and there is no objects folder on my home pc (which is a installed version of 9.10). In work I do the same steps on an install of 8.04 and it works fine. The only difference I can think of is on 8.04. I add the menu to the bottom panel that ubuntu has by default and at home its a panel I've added. I cant get a custom icon for my main menu in 9.10!
