Kripper is a software tool that offers a simple interface to rip VCDs and convert them into DivX format.
Kripper is a GUI front end that offers various command line tools to rip VCDs and convert them into Divx files that can be easily burned into CDRWs. Kripper utilizes cdrdao to rip VCDs in bin format, making it the only tool capable of carrying out this task. Once the VCDs have been ripped, mencoder is used to convert the bin file into Divx; yes, mencoder can read *.bin files generated by cdrdao. Finally, cdrecord is deployed to burn the Divx into CDRW.
To run Kripper, you need a GNU/Linux system with an X server running, KDE, and its libraries installed. Additionally, you should have cdrdao, Mplayer (i.e., Mencoder), mkfsiso, and vcdxrip installed. However, as of the initial release, you only need cdrdao.
The latest release comes packed with new features such as a real KDE application as opposed to a plain Qt Application. The setup dialog has been added, and the settings can now be easily saved in ~/.kde/share/config/Kripperrc. Even more impressively, Kripper now boasts of Divx Conversion support, meaning you can rip a VCD and convert it into DivX using this excellent GUI front end.
