Kripper is GUI front end for variosu of command line tools which are used to rip VCDs & then to convert it to Divx & then burn the Divx files in to CDRW.
Kripper achive it using cdrdao to rip VCDs ( I think it is the only tool which can rip VCDs in bin format which can be later brun to a CDRW. After ripping mencoder is used to convert the *.bin file into Divx (yes Mencoder can read *.bin files generated by cdrdao).
After that cdrecord will be used to burn the divx in to CDRW.

The next version i.e kripper-0.3.tar.gz is released. In this version Setup dialog for Kripper is added also Kripper is now a real KDE applications

This release has most of the Basic stuffs with which a VCD can be ripped & the image can be stored in given location & then it can be converted to DivX with defaults setting of Mencoder.
Now to make Kripper more succesfull I need help from users & developers , users can suggest what kinds or types of feature they want or can report a bug.On the other hand developers can join in & can debug or can add some new cool feature or can improve my codes (since I am still learning Qt/KDE & certainly not a master of Qt/KDE any suggestion from Gurus will be warmly welcomed.).
Now to increase the communication between user , developer & me I opened a general mailing List for
Kripper where every body can hang out.
For subscribtion please go to
Kripper Mailing List
