Hi all,

I am looking for a way to make my headless Linux box auto-detect
DVD-video upon insert into a drive, proceed with a ripping process, and
then an H.264 encoding process.

Any suggestions on how to proceed? Obivously the latter parts are easier
if I can figure out the former...

Cheers,

Tough question. I think you can configure mplayer to automatically play
a DVD/CD when it's inserted, ie, when a DVD is inserted the application
to start is mplayer. For instance, Gnome starts Totem so change Gnome
configuration preferences to start mplayer/mencoder.

You can write a script that starts mencoder to encode the DVD to h.264
when a DVD is installed.

Depends on the Linux version/distro you're running
