Good Question, dvd::rip from dag requires transcode, which I think requires several codec libraries. After all, what good is transcode without some format to convert too. I am not entirely sure, however, since I installed all of the codecs before dvd::rip. In case I am wrong, and you have to download seperate pachages. The packages that I use are divx4linux (dag) and xvidcore (also from dag). With these installed the options to code into divx or xvid into an avi container are available. I am sure using yum/smart/apt you could find tons of codecs, but these are what I use. HTH Micheal
