doesnt vlc have a 'convert and save' feature under it's file menu ?

i dont know if it can be scheduled in a script... for anything command line you should play around with the default tools: ffmpeg, transcoder, mencoder (i have a suspicion that vlc uses just a gui wrapper around one of these).

Fairmount (free, Mac only) does the same thing as AnyDVD I think. They (Metakine) also have a good mastering/encoding/conversion program called DVDremaster... as much as I hate to pay for software that program was probably worth it.

hi, not sure what you are trying to do or what errors you are getting but did you see my previous post:

maybe you need to apt-get install some missing software ?

Linux is a great companion OS, like the iPad is a great companion device... but I wouldn't want to try and survive with either by themselves.

For some reason it was caught in a loop.

Tell that to the millions who use Linux as their primary OS.
Did you know that Mac users are using Unix?
