How to Rip a DVD in Ubuntu ?

Ripping DVDs in Ubuntu is not very well documented.
This guide explains how to rip DVDs to mp4 format using Handbrake.
Installing Codecs
It is necessary to install the DVD codecs on Ubuntu before installing Handbrake.
For instructions on how to do this, see Playing Encrypted DVDs in Ubuntu.
Installing Hanbrake
To install Handbrake in Ubuntu, go to
http://handbrake.fr/downloads.php
and click on the download link for Ubuntu x.xx GUI, i.e. 9.04. Choose the architecture, 32bit or 64bit, depending on your system architecture.
Download it to your Desktop folder and double click on it to open the .deb file in GDebi Package Manager. Click on Install Package to begin the installation.
The installation should take about 2 minutes.
Using Handbrake
Handbrake is very simple to use. Insert your DVD into the DVD drive, and on the prompt that follows, select Do Nothing. Go to Applications ->Sound & Video -> Handbrake to open Handbrake. In the menu bar, click on Source to select the source. In the window this opens, there is a sidebar. Normally, this sidebar will contain a link to the DVD in the drive, usually with the name of the disk. Click on this.
If there is a VIDEO_TS folder, select the Open VIDEO_TS Folder checkbox below. Otherwise, locate on in the same window the file you want to rip and select Open.
Handbrake should now scan the file(s) and give information about the length of the tracks, and allow you to select which tracks you want to rip.
You can set the filename and folder in an option box.
Below there are a nmber of tabs, including Picture and Video, which allow you to set various options such as Bitrate and Resolution. When you have changed any settings you wat, click Start to begin encoding.
The process can take from about 10 minutes to several hours, so do not be discouraged if it seems to take ages. When it has finished, open the location of the stored video and play.
It should now work nicely!!
This technique can also be used in Windows or Mac OS X. Simply select the Windows GUI version or the Mac OS X version and install by double clicking.

search engine Muslims

Let's say you are a Muslim and you are totally not satisfied with the search filters provided by Google and other search engines.
Here comes a search engine named ImHalal that will give you
the ease to search the Internet without coming
across any content that might be considered as 'Haram' according to the Islamic Law.
For a test, we entered some queries such as Alcohol, Nudity etc and were impressed
to see that ImHalal does exactly what it's supposed to, it blocks the query and
warns the user since the results for the query may contain Haram content.
Thats not all! ImHalal even gives you a rating for the searched query if its explicit or contains any sort of Haram content. Moreover, it is able to fetch not only links, but also images and news for any particular query.
The search engine uses various techniques to determine which results fetched are supposed to be 'Halal' or 'Haram'.
Now it may not be the best search engine out there
but it still comes with a noble purpose.
Especially, it can be of great use in Muslim households where the
parents are concerned about the types of sites their
children visit on the Internet.
