Eugene-<br>I&#39;d suggest you stop by <a href="http://www.doom9.net/">http://www.doom9.net/</a> .  They are the primer source of information for this kind of thing. I think all their downloads are for windows, though many have linux/mac versions if you look for them. More importantly if you go to &quot;The Basics&quot; they&#39;ve got plenty of tutorials and basic information on how to get started.<br>
<br>You might also try <a href="http://handbrake.fr/">http://handbrake.fr/</a> which does ripping (but not protection cracking) for basically all platforms.<br><br>Basically all you really need to worry about is cracking/ripping the DVD.  Once that is done you&#39;ll have raw video files you can manipulate with any run of the mill video editing software.<br>

Hi!<br>
<br>
I recently watched &quot;BBC History of World War II: Hiroshima&quot;<br>
(<a href="http://www.amazon.com/BBC-History-World-War-Hiroshima/dp/B000F4RH8Y/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;s=dvd&amp;qid=1265999541&amp;sr=8-1" target="_blank">http://www.amazon.com/BBC-History-World-War-Hiroshima/dp/B000F4RH8Y/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;s=dvd&amp;qid=1265999541&amp;sr=8-1</a>).<br>

I found this movie in local library.<br>
<br>
Special features includes two documentaries:<br>
<br>
1) &quot;A Tale of Two Cities&quot; made by US Army and Navy.<br>
2) Interview with US Air Forces personnel participated in bombings.<br>
(However origin is not clear, so I&#39;m not sure that this is PD).<br>
3) Also some parts of main feature are just US Air Force documentaries.<br>
<br>
I think will be great to have such documentaries in Commons (Commons<br>
doesn&#39;t seem to have it).<br>
<br>
I&#39;m not specialist in DVD ripping and Ogg conversion, so any help will<br>
be appreciated. I believe that experienced person could made this job<br>
much faster and better then me.<br>
<br>
Eugene.<br>
<br>
PS<br>
<br>
However, I&#39;m not sure that movie restoration is not creating new copyrights.<br>
