The Thoggen source code is no longer (not) maintained in Subversion, but has moved to git. See here for the details.

Changes:

• Fix problem with Region 1 (North America) DVD titles in non-widescreen 4:3 format (Thoggen would just hang when starting the rip and do nothing).
• Fix problem with metadata/tags containing characters that need to be escaped, such as '&'
• Misc. compiler warning/portability fixes.

Changes:

• Fix problems with the aspect ratio of some DVDs.
• Ask before overwriting existing files
• Use ffdeinterlace from gst-ffmpeg for deinterlacing if it is available; the quality is significantly better than with our own deinterlacer plugin.
• Have desirable, but missing elements like ffdeinterlace, dtsdec or dvdlpcmdec installed automatically via GStreamer's codec-install mechanism; this will only work if the distro supports it (which currently means: ubuntu feisty, gutsy or hardy, or Fedora Core 8)
• Allow ripping of all languages (Bram Neijt)
• Don't hard-code output to 25fps, but use framerate specified in dvd headers, so that 29.97fps is used for NTSC material.
• Keep track of recently-used DVD .iso files and VIDEO_TS directories.
• Use (higher quality) 4-tap method for scaling the picture if gst-plugins-base >= 0.10.17 is available

New features:

• DVD drive detection for 2.4 kernels

• Check free disk space before encoding and regularly during encoding; pause automatically just before running out of disk space.

Improved DVD drive and medium detection:

• should work for Linux 2.4 kernels now
• fixed DVD disc detection for some cases
• do media check polling ourselves if required
• check THOGGEN_DVD_DRIVE_DEVICE environment variable (for non-Linux kernels, or if the existing detection methods fail).

Configuration dialog improvements:

• Select audio track language
