Actually, I'm not sure if this corresponds to Al's question. In the features list [2] of dvdrip [1] I see lots of options on converting a DVD to some sort of video CD, but not something to burn back to DVD (you know, thos DVD+-*/%RW burners are getting cheap enough for everybody). I'd also be very interested in having a simple-to-use and fast way of ripping a DVD so I could select what exactly I want from the original, and scaling the MPEG stream to get the maximum size available on DVD-R. There is such a thing on Winblows and MacOS, but I'm not aware of any such FOSS (any problems with DVD Forum/MPAA/whoever set aside).
