Easy-to-use DVD ripper encoding into ogg/theora

## NAME

thoggen - Easy-to-use DVD ripper encoding into ogg/theora

## SYNOPSIS

**thoggen** \[*OPTIONS*\]

## DESCRIPTION

DVD Ripper

- Thoggen is an easy-to-use DVD backup tool (´DVD ripper´) based

  on GStreamer and Gtk+. It encodes DVD titles into ogg/theora  video and supports picture cropping and picture resizing.

## REQUIREMENTS

Thoggen requires a running HAL daemon (hald) to detect the  available DVD drives. On older kernels or other operating systems, other mechanisms might be used to detect the available drives. If no drives have been detected, the user will be asked for the device directly.
