Topic: Practical Tutorial on Linux DVD Ripping
When: 8:00PM


Presenter: K. S. Wehr ("Eater")


     A practical tuturial will be given on Linux DVD ripping
     using the transcode video stream processing tool.  This
     process enables the Linux user to take a DVD's MPEG-2 data,
     manipulate several audio and video characteristics,
     and encode this information using a more manageable codec.

     Emphasis will be given to the installation of tools and libraries
     needed.  Common command-line usage will be detailed, as well as
     automating the process using a popular scripting language.  Eater
     will also touch on some of the political issues surrounding this
     topic as it relates to fair use and the DMCA.

     K. S. Wehr ("Eater") has been obsessed with UNIX and Linux for
     much of the last decade. When not tending to his Columbus-based
     networking company, he spends his time experimenting and helping
     others learn about Linux and network security.

I didn't have to buy my radio from a specific company to listen
to FM, why doesn't that apply to the Internet (anymore...)?
