I second the dvdrip recommendation. I am also ripping & encoding my
movies to play on my local lan. Dvdrip uses transcode to encode, very
processor intensive, i.e. it will use all you have, so the more you
have the faster it goes, amd64 x2 4400 takes about three hours for a
average movie length. You need debian.multimedia in your sources.list,
for libdvdcss. Nice gtk2 program.
