dvd::rip is a full featured DVD copy program written in Perl. It provides an easy to use but feature-rich Gtk+ GUI to control almost all aspects of the ripping and transcoding process. It uses the widely known video processing swissknife transcode and many other Open Source tools. dvd::rip itself is licensed under GPL / Perl Artistic License.

dvd::rip is a all-in-one opensource DVD ripping solution for Linux that supports subtitles; XviD, DivX, VCD and SVCD video formats and AC3, Ogg Vorbis and MP3 audio formats.

Tool allows easy cropping and resizing with preview windows and easy-to-use selections. Other features of the tool include chapter splitting, several different deinterlace filters and integrated bitrate calculator. And to add something that Windows users don't have, program can be used in Linux clusters (meaning that you can use multiple computers to work on the same movie, reducing the ripping and encoding time dramatically).
