VLC - DVD Rip Command
I must proclaim it from the rooftops!!!!
Yes! I finally figured out how to rip DVDs with that nasty Sony ARccOS protection!! (up yours, Sony)
You see, I'm one of the good guys. I don't condone pirating stuff, and rarely pirate anything myself. The collection of the 5500 songs I own, are 99% mine (I'm not perfect), as well as my hundreds of DVDs stored on my myth system at my house. Enter Sony.
Sony has this ridiculous idea that DRM is going to help them. They'll even go so far as to break their DVDs so they won't play in some of their own DVD players. Say what? Yup... It's true.
Well, I don't like being treated like a criminal, especially when I'm trying my best to keep my DVD collection legit. As soon as Sony's DVDs wouldn't play in mplayer, I just about lost all my determination to keep from pirating. If Sony is gonna break stuff I'm paying for, I'm not paying for it anymore. Oh, that angers me. :)
So... Enter VLC - what a glorious program.
I started messing with it about 5 hours ago, and as we speak, I'm ripping "The Holiday" and will soon be ripping "RV" and "Casino Royale". Awesome, simply awesome.
Before I continue, thank you to whomever posted this tip on how to rip with VLC. The command is really quite simple, and it outputs the same format as mplayer -dumpstream dvd:// The command is:
# vlc dvd:/dev/dvd@1 --sout "#standard{access=file,mux=ps,dst=/home/user/file.ps}"
and that's that. Make sure you emerge vlc with the "stream" USE flag, or it won't work.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Update - 2008-12-09 : VLC version 0.9.6 does NOT work with this command. Version 0.8.6i does.

Hi! Thanks for the great tip! It's so good that I can back up all my new DVDs now.
I was wondering if you knew an straight forward method of then burning the .ps file back to a DVD?
Thanks! ~ww

How would you translate that code for the windows version of vlc? I probably sound like an idiot here- but I tried different combinations that looked correct, but nothing seemed to work.
Thanks- TP

I've noticed that on some dvds, the above command won't work, because it's hardcoded into the .vob to immediately jump back to the menu, and in my case, it kept ripping the menu video over and over and over and over into the end of the main movie. Here's the corrected command that fixes that...
vlc dvdsimple:///dev/dvd@1 --sout "#standard{access=file,mux=ps,dst=/home/user/filename.ps}"
vlc dvdsimple:///dev/dvd@1 --sout "#standard{access=file,mux=ps,dst=/home/user/filename.ps}"

Thanks for the tip, Warren. I had that same problem, too, but couldn't figure out how to fix it.

It's "whoever" not "whomever" in this context.
