Linux.com reviews Thoggen: Thoggen is a new DVD ripper/backup-tool for Linux that encodes video into the free Ogg Theora format. Unlike its rivals, Thoggen is easy to use, and its built-in support for the Theora codec instead of the patent-restricted MPEG-4 and derivatives makes it worth looking at.

Thoggen and poor performance

Submitted by Anonymous George on Thu, 2006-03-30 12:58.

Thoggen works for me, or atleast it did when I tried it the last time, but it's slow. It's *really* slow. I know the theora libraries aren't optimized for speed and fast encoding, but I still wish it was faster. Ogmrip is way faster, but then again it uses MPlayer as its back-end and different codec for encoding.
