Rip DVDs in Linux

DVD burning

Source : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=133642

Is there a command available to install something in ubuntu that decrypts dvd's so I can back-up my dvd movies?

Install dvdbackup from the repository.

Then insert your DVD movie in the drive and type this in the terminal:

dvdbackup -i /dev/dvd -M -o dir/

This will backup the whole DVD movie with extras and menus, etc. You might want to have a Dual layer burner for this too. It will put the backup in the directory that you put in place of dir/.

example: dvdbackup -i /dev/dvd -M -o backupmovie/


After it finishes this then insert your blank DVD disc into the drive and type from terminal:

growisofs -speed 1 -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvdrw -dvd-video dir/


example using the backupmovie/ directory that contained my backup would be:

growisofs -speed 1 -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvdrw -dvd-video backupmovie/


The dvdbackup command will put into the backupmovie/ subdirectory the disc title of the movie. So be sure to include that at the end of the growisofs command. Such as:

growisofs -speed 1 -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvdrw -dvd-video backupmovie/GHOST/


This works great, and I can backup my DVD movies with way even dual layer movies.

Fastest way to send multiple drafts from gmail

By
People claim that the fastest way to send multiple email drafts is to use Gmail IMAP with email client like Outlook or Evolution or Thunderbird. But I have found this is not true. Because Thunderbird and Evolution etc. email clients treats the drafts as emails still to be edited. So it is not just simple select all and hit send. Each email draft has to be opened and sent separately. That is a lot of clicks and mouse movements, wasting precious time and energy. I have a better solution which involves minimum keystrokes and mouse usage. Efficiency booster technique for sending emails. If someone is feeling adventurous and want to try it from the Gmail interface itself, here's how to do it in the fastest possible manner. It involves using the mouse once. Select the first draft. Gmail would open a new email box and put the cursor inside the box to write. Press TAB once to go the Send button. Press ENTER to send. Now Gmail sends it and the box is gone but the highlight goes to the last...
