DVD-Video to MPEG-2

[narcisgarcia]

The video tracks in a DVD-Video are encoded in MPEG-2, and all rip utilities I find make a conversion to MPEG-4, OGM and others.

Can somebody recommend me an utility to extract an audio and video track from DVD to a common video file, without decoding and recompressing data?

Thanks

If you're wanting to copy video from a DVD without changing it in any way, you can simply copy the VOB files using cp and play them directly with a media player like mplayer. If by "extract" you mean take a specific chapter out of the VOB, dvd::rip can do this (and dvd::rip is a good DVD ripper if you do want to re-encode the video, too). To rip the chapter without re-encoding it, just select the chapter you want, rip it as a VOB, and then exit dvd::rip rather than going on through the other tabs.

.VOB and .MPG are not the same container format. VOB is video-multitrack, subtitle-multitrack, audio-multitrack (a real container); but .MPG files (what I want) have only a single video track and a single audio track.

Do you mean that with dvdrip I can extract a video track + audio track from a DVD (not only 1 chapter) and obtain a .MPG file without a re-encoded video, or I will obtain a part .VOB?

Can somebody moderate partake06's spam message? The product that partake06 sells is not related with Ubuntu nor free software.

Now I've tried the "DeVeDe" from the repositories, but is since version 3.14.0 that works for me:
