Thoggen is a DVD ripper for Linux within the GNOME project. It is based on GStreamer and GTK+. Thoggen can back up DVDs by re-encoding them using the Ogg Theora video codec. Thoggen aims to be easy and straightforward to use, by hiding complexity and offering sensible defaults.

Features

• Encodes into Ogg/Theora video.
• Based on the GStreamer multimedia framework.
• Supports title preview, picture cropping and resizing.
• Language Selection for audio track.
• Can encode from local directory with video DVD files.

Weaknesses

• Thoggen is slow.

The Theora implementation used is far from optimized, and at full DVD resolution, encoding can slow down to the single-digit frames-per-second count, meaning several hours are required."

• Thoggen can only encode video into the Theora codec. Since the software is based on the GStreamer multimedia framework, it may be possible to add additional encoding formats/codecs in future versions.
• Thoggen includes a feature to "make video certain quality". However, the numerics to choose from (ranging from 0 to 63) for the encoding process are less-than-obvious to interpret for users.
• Subtitles are not yet supported.
