I am looking for a command-line tool (not GUI) to convert my DVDs
to AVI files. Any suggestions? |

Most of the GUI tools that do that use transcode as a backend...
(which is a commandline tool)

mplayer -dumpstream -dumpfile dvd_t1_c1.avi dvd://1 -chapter 1-2
And probably a few other options with cvlc, ffmpeg, transcode, avifile,
and others. |

...that won't be an AVI file. That will be a DVD container.
With mencoder however, you could do a one command rip and
transcode straight from the disk to just about whatever format
you wanted.
However, I prefer to rip and then transcode since the ripping
part tends to be a whole hell of a lot quicker than the transcode
part. mplayer+mencoder

That is interesting. I am looking for a command line tool that does the
opposite, turning AVI and MPG files into .iso images for burning to DVD
for watching in a conventional DVD player.

Have a look in http://sourceforge.net/projects/any2dvd. Although
not updated recently, I have been able to use it for that purpose quite
successfully for some time now. |

I just did that myself.
ffmpeg -i file.avi -sameq -aspect 4:3 -target ntsc-dvd dvd_chapter1.mpeg
And then dvdauthor to help make the AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS directory tree
with VOBs. And mkisofs to make the iso image. cdrecord to burn it, or
growisofs. spumux if you want a menu type thing. And many options to try
and tie all that into a gui. devede, qDvdAuthor, DvdStyler, and others.
http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/6953
http://nfs.shawnfumo.com/wiki/DVDAuthor
http://marc.waeckerlin.org/computer/linux/anleitungen/dvd
http://www.kaybee.org/~kirk/dvdauthor.html
And many other sources. aften if you want to generate 5.1 surround sound
from stereo audio. ffmpeg seems to only be capable of 5.0 for me at the
moment. And my version of sox doesn't seem to have the -M option for
making a single WAV file with multiple tracks out of many mono tracks.
The mpeg files for dvd are 720x480 (NTSC) pixel and either 4:3 or 16:9
aspect ratio, with a frame rate of 29.97 (30000/1001) fps. The video
codec is mpeg2video. It should not exceed 10Mbps bitrate, and probably
much lower for older dvd players. 720x576(PAL) with a framerate of 25 fps
for PAL. ffmpeg defaults to 25 fps, so be careful to override the default
fps if you need to. -target ntsc-dvd takes care of that, but if you're
using some other intermediate format you should be aware of the 25 fps
default.
Bear in mind that the 720x480 is NOT square pixels. 81dpi x 72dpi, which
differs from the traditional 1.33 aspect ratio (4:3). So it's more like a
720x540 image compressed to 720x480 to maintain aspect ratio with a 4:3
source image. More like 854x480 compressed to 720x480 for a 16:9 source
image. For NTSC formats anyway. Food for thought as some youtube clips
and others do NOT maintain proper aspect ratios.
