The A.R.M. (Automatic Ripping Machine) detects the insertion of an optical disc, identifies the type of media, and autonomously performs the appropriate action:
- DVD / Blu-ray -> Rip with MakeMKV and Transcode with Handbrake
- Audio CD -> Rip and Encode to MP3 or FLAC and Tag the files if possible.
- Data Disc -> Make an ISO backup
It runs on Linux, it’s completely headless and fully automatic requiring no interaction or manual input to complete its tasks (other than inserting the disk). Once it completes a rip it ejects the disc for you and you can pop in another one.
Rips mms:// streams to files on your hard drive.
A shell script that uses Mplayer to transcode any DVD (including alternate audio tracks and subtitle layers) into a single .mkv file for archival.
