The Vamps Tools

Welcome to the Vamps Tools Website

The Vamps Tools are a set of utilities to help duplicating and requantizing DVD on the fly. The main tool is basically both a resize factor calculator and a dvdauthor configuration file generator.

The GUI features a clean HIG-compliant GNOME 2 interface and tries to mimic as much as possible the ergonomy of DVDShrink.

Description

DVD authoring and duplicating are in their early stages under linux or any other POSIX system. The "traditional" way to rip is performed in 5 steps: The Vamps Tools introduces a new method in which all these steps are performed at once while preserving as much as possible the original structure of each streams (chapters and PGCs). They support many options, from one-to-one DVD backup to fully reauthored DVD with only a subset of the original titles with all unwanted audio and subtitle streams removed. The Vamps Tools automatically calculate any requantizing factor required to make it fit on a DVD-5.

The Vamps Tools are composed of 5 utilities: The backup itself is initiated by dvdauthor, the VOB files are extracted by vamps-dump and the streams are requantized by vamps.
