If you do a lot (I am working though 300 DVD's right now) then
HandBrakeCLI is good enough. If it is a single DVD, HandBrakeGUI might be
good and easy as well.

Never noticed it.
I have made a website that browses the movies directory and when I click
on a movie, starts playing it (on a different monitor). The same website
can change audio and subtitles and a lot more using mplayer in slave mode.

Using php and exec I can do something like 
`echo seek_chapter 1 0 > /tmp/mplayer.fifo` and go to the next chapter.

I just have some issues with the get_* options. How do I get e.g.
get_file_name to show? When I do `echo get_file_name > /tmp/mplayer.fifo`
I do not see anything.

Slave mode is awesome as I now can use my android easily as a remote
control. :-D
