[plug] ripping a DVD

[John Knight]

That's basically it, use mencoder (which comes with mplayer) and encode as 
normal, except use frameno for your video output, so that there's no video 
stream. If the end result is called test.avi still (if yo uhaven't specified 
a filename), you should be okay to just rename it to something.mp3. RTFM 
when it comes to it though, this is the most serous RTFM app you'll come 
across. ;)

Make lunch, not war.
