dvdtoogg is a script for converting the audio content of a DVD to a multi-channel Ogg Vorbis file. (From 2 to 6 channels are supported.)

dvdtoogg uses mplayer to find and extract DVD tracks, and uses oggenc to encode to a stereo or 5.1 Ogg Vorbis file.

I created this script because transcode is not able to rip in 5.1 channels I tried to keep this script as simple as possible. The script is just a simple frontend to player/oggenc.

There is nothing magic, but I spent many hours to find the clever way to do that. I hope this script will help you to save some time in converting DVD to OGG. If you like this script and/or if you have some comments/patches, email me.

Requirements:
