Here is my script for ripping dvd's to h.264. What it does is rip a dvd into the H.264 encoder at the specifiesd bit rate; it even crops the video for you to eliminate black borders. It beats trying to get Acidrip to work. This is my simple alternative to acidrip. It uses lsdvd, mencoder, mplayer, libdvdcss and x264. Mencoder must support encoding in H.264...you must have x264 installed. just run it without options and it'll show you want to enter and in which order to enter them. Let me know what you guys think.
