And obviously the subtitle support is cool too. I prefer using plain old stupid avi in undvd just for the sake of keeping it simple for people who don't know what any of this is. :) @Salin: FYI the mentioned script (undvd) has reasonable support for ripping multiple titles off a DVD. My technical choices are a bit different from Steve's though. Matroska is a good choice, it’s a better container in technical terms. And obviously the subtitle support is cool too.

I've been really reluctant to release that one, since it has a lot of deps, and is not really user-friendly ... but it certainly can be with some good documentation. I'll look at it, though it's going to require a lot of code cleanup before I consider it worthy of releasing it in the wild. Maybe Ill just release it anyway, ugliness and all. :) @Salin,

I'd rather not have to carry around a "box" set of a season to watch a season at a time of my favorite programs. Having them organized by the seasons/episode sequences would make watching them easier. Salin I’ve been following your progress and would be extremely interested in testing/assisting in this project.
