vStrip

Extracting content from DVDs and CDs is no difficult task, especially when the appropriate tools are at hand. Movie discs are among the most popular media targeted by such applications and for this reason there are numerous programs created particularly for this purpose.
Vstrip is one such utility and its main goal is to help users grab the streams from VOB, M2P and LST files. The front-end is quite practical, but since there are no hints on how to operate this program, its mostly a trial and error process.
The data grabbing can be done by specifying the exact location of the data bits which hare stored onto the target disc. More precisely, the user can input the start and end values for the data blocks, then tinker with some extra options before starting the actual process.
Insofar as the IFO files are concerned, in the corresponding tab of the main window of Vstrip GUI once can load such items and get them ready for data extraction. For each recognized stream, the app detects the audio, video and subpicture information and makes it available in the dedicated area.
Configuring the output settings of Vstrip is simple enough and can be carried out from the special section of the main window. Thus, the video stream and substream options can be easily set up by choosing the desired values.
The command-line version of Vstrip is even easier to use and it features more detailed descriptions of the operations and parameters that are supported by this software application. The supported output formats include MPEG-2 simple and Video streams (m2p and m2v), AC3 and Raw PCM streams.
