Completed

Currently there I have two scripts:

• autorip.sh

  #!/bin/sh
  path="/Users/frontrow/Movies/";
  name=`mount | awk '$1 = /\/dev\/disk1/ { print substr($3, 10) }'`
  
  /Users/frontrow/bin/HandBrakeCLI -i /dev/disk1 -o "$path$name.mp4" -m -d -b 2500 -e x264 -B 196 -R 48 -p
  

• autorip.scpt - Not accessible since I compiled it wrong and I need to rewrite it. Basicly it just calls the above shell script

The concept is simple. Under "System Preferences" in the "CDs & DVDs" section you can set the "When you insert a video DVD" which I point to the autorip.scpt. If any application that reads the DVD is open (e.g. Front Row) then this is ignored. So any ripping requires the to be at the Finder.

Not Started

There are some legal issues with moving videos and bandwidth issues. This is here as a place holder in case I figured out what is acceptable under US law.
