DVDKUP is a GTK interface for Mencoder, the encoding command of the software MPlayer.

It allows to easily create a backup copy of your dvd in MPEG4 standard, fully compatible with your DivX player (even the "stand-alone" ones!), using the LAVC codec. This codec, written by MPlayer developers, gives a quality comparable with last DivX and Xvid codecs (higher, for the MPlayer staff!).

For the audio encoding, DVDKUP use the dear old mp3 or the original AC3 stream of your dvd. Actually DVDKUP doesn't support OGG Vorbis encoding.

DVDKUP uses a very simple interface to create one or more AVI files ready to be burned on your cd-r. If you choose to use more than one cd-r, DVDKUP automatically split the movie using the chapter informations, in order not to break a scene just in the middle.
