#####[Ripping Audio CD's, CD-ROMs and DVD's]#####

This should go without saying, but you do any of the following at your own
risk and nothing is guaranteed.

Ripping Audio CD's
------------------

~~GUI~~~
1. Insert the audio CD.
2. Mount it in JWM's desktop environment or you will have to do so the old 
   fashion way in XFCE because XFCE's Volume Manager doesn't seem to work.
3. Run 'CD player/ripper' in the Multimedia section of the applications menu.
4. It should be fairly self explanatory from here.

~~~Command-line~~~
1. Insert the audio CD.
2. Run 'CDDA_DEVICE=/dev/cdrom cdda2mp3' and if that does not work, run
   'CDDA_DEVICE=/dev/sr0 cdda2mp3' and so on and so forth until you can
   figure out the correct "/dev/??" part. You can also use "cdd22ogg"
   and "cdda2wav" if you do not want MP3's.

Ripping DATA CD-ROM's/DVD's/Blu-rays (as an ISO)
-----------------------------------------------
Before you get too excited, I have no idea if this will also work with
DVD's and Blu-rays, even for your CD-ROM's for that matter due to
copy protections. You may also be able to utilize these methods to backup
audio CD's and video DVD's.

~~~GUI~~~
1. Insert the CD-ROM
2. Mount the CD-ROM by clicking on the disc looking icon in JWM's desktop 
   environment.
3. Use Pburn's Copy Data disc option but make sure that the directory chosen 
   actual exists as many Puppy-related programs try to use things like 
   "my-documents."
4. When asked to insert an empty disc, copy and paste the Pburn.iso file that 
   was created in the chosen temporary directory to anywhere else you want as 
   this is your ISO and you should also probably rename it.
5. You can then just cancel the copy disc process or keep going if you would 
   actually like to make a copy of the CD-ROM. However, do not expect this to 
   work on everything as there could be advanced copy protection.

~~~Command-line~~~
1. Insert the CD-ROM
2. Run 'dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/path/to/output.iso'
3. If you would like to burn the ISO to a disc run:
   'growisofs -Z /dev/cdrom=output.iso'


Ripping Video DVD's
-------------------

~~~GUI~~~
1. Insert the DVD into a DVD drive; this should be common sense, but do not try 
   this with a CD-ROM drive.
2. While in JWM's desktop environment, click on the disc icon that should now 
   be on the desktop and VLC will open.
3. Media --> Convert/Save --> Disc
       a. Select "No DVD menus"
4. Click "Convert/Save" at the bottom.
5. Choose your "Destination file" as pick your folder and file name and do not 
   forget to add an extension such as "video.mp4"
6. Click "Start" and be patient; this will probably take 2-3 times long than 
   the normal playback rate.

~~~Command-line~~~
1. Insert the DVD into a DVD drive.
2. Run 'dvdrip' and both 'mplayer' and 'libdvdcss' will work together to produce
   a large MPEG file. You can convert this file to another format by running
   either 'quickedit /path/to/output.mpeg' or 'ffmpeg -i input.mpeg ouput.mp4'
   and just replace "mp4" extension with almost any major video file format.
