I want to know the proper way to backup my DVDs. > For starters, I'd check out k3b - both it's dvd copying and compression are pretty useful. For CLI, I'd check out vobcopy, which strips the audio and video directly off the disc. If you want to do any transcoding, at least one of mencoder or ffmpeg support direct copying of one of the streams while compressing the other - allowing for identical video, but compressed audio, or vice versa. This can be useful if you don't care about keeping dolby digital streams (a52), etc. Now what I want to know more about is video /editing/ - cinelerra has a trouble with avis (plus its interface is weird), while avidemux has serious limitations outside of adding effects, imo.
