Thanks, I'll give HandBrake a try.

I'm very poor at scripting, this might be a good exercise. But in case
someone has already a script available..... I'm lazy....

mencoder, dvd::rip, devede or even nuvexport cannot accept an .iso as
input and allow to select the episodes I want as if it was a real dvd?
If I loop mount the iso, you think I can use any of the above programs
on the image?
Something like:
# mount -o loop -t iso9660 dvd.iso /mnt/isoimage/

Thanks
