There is an application called "Fair Use Wizard," which will extract a DVD movie into a DivX file. It is fully

a Linux replacement for this?
Yes, it is called dvd::rip. It is based on transcode.

It is GUI-oriented but it can be used in command-line mode. However, GUI is recommended, because some operations are always required when transcoding from DVD to DivX, such as cropping, scaling, etc. and those cannot be done efficiently in a text console. Everything, from dumping the VOBs to burning the DivX onto a CD, can be done from the dvd::rip GUI.
You could use transcode to do all work, since dvd::rip is just a front-end, but it's easier and quicker with dvd::rip.
Thanks for the answer. Is there a way to install this using yum?
