Drip 0.9.0 - DVD to DivX

by Vince Veneziani (RSS feed) Jun 28th 2005 at 1:18PM

Drip is a utility for Linux that'll convert a DVD to a nice DivX file. This is a great program that's very easy to use and has a nice layout. Of course we know you'll be using it to make ~~War of the Worlds~~ home movies into DivX files....right? You do however need a bunch of things already on your system to install it and get it working though. You can see that full list here. The download itself is just a tarball so you should be used to those, and if you aren't...well...whatever. Drip works pretty efficiently too. I don't exactly have any "home movies" laying around to try out but I was able to test it out on some other DVDs laying around. You know, free ones. Give it a try if you're looking for an easy way to get DivX files in Linux.

Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet. They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...
