Thoggen
Open source DVD ripper software
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Thoggen is a DVD ripper for Linux within the GNOME project. It is based on GStreamer and GTK+. Thoggen can back up DVDs by re-encoding them using the Ogg Theora video codec. Thoggen aims to be easy and straightforward to use, by hiding complexity and offering sensible defaults.[1]

Features
Weaknesses
- Thoggen is slow.
The Theora implementation used is far from optimized, and at full DVD resolution, encoding can slow down to the single-digit frames-per-second count, meaning several hours are required."[2]
- Thoggen can only encode video into the Theora codec. Since the software is based on the GStreamer multimedia framework, it may be possible to add additional encoding formats/codecs in future versions.[1]
- Thoggen includes a feature to "make video certain quality". However, the numerics to choose from (ranging from 0 to 63) for the encoding process are less-than-obvious to interpret for users.[3]
- Subtitles are not yet supported.
