HOWTO Easy DVD-Ripping In Linux With K3b

There is many ways to rip dvd in linux with transcode, mencoder, dvd:rip etc.,
but the easiest way for me is with K3b.
You need version 1.0_rc or better.

1. Install k3b (if you don't have it).
On gentoo:
USE=encode emerge -av k3b

On Debian/Ubuntu:
apt-get install k3b

2. Start k3b
You can start it from any terminal or run (Alt+F2) and type
k3b

3. Ripping
Tools->Rip Video DVD



4. Choose video and audio codecs options


5. Start ripping
