-### Audio
-
-* [abcde](https://abcde.einval.com/wiki/) claims to rip and compress to FLAC and tag automatically.

-### Video
-
-#### DVD
-
-Use `dd` to rip DVD.
-However, `dd` can fail on some disks, perhaps due to damage or copy protection.
-[This post on unix.stackexchange describes a trick that works](https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/642790):
-
-* Start playback of the disc using [VLC media player](https://www.videolan.org/vlc/).
-* Try `dd` first, if it fails, then run a command like `ddrescue -n -b2048 -K1M /dev/sr0 x.iso x.map`.
-* After `ddrescue` starts running, quit VLC.
-
-For playback, most software (including Kodi and VLC for Android) can play back DVD ISO with full menu support
-
-#### Blu-ray
-
-[FindVUK](http://fvonline-db.bplaced.net/) has the keys to play Blu-ray discs ripped with `dd`.
-However, with encrypted Blu-ray discs, you need to configure the keys in each device where you want to play back the content.
-(And this is not easy or possible in some cases.)
-
-[blu-save](https://git.sr.ht/~shironeko/blu-save) can remove the encryption.
-Remember to specify the path to the keys when running blu-save.
-
-However, VLC is confused by the `AACS` and `CERTIFICATE` directories that blu-save copies to the output.
-If you remove them, then VLC can play the `BDMV` directory with menus, etc.
-
-You can repack a Blu-ray extracted with blu-save by running a command like:
-
-```
-mkisofs -allow-limited-size -o .../my.iso .
-```
-
-from the directory that contains *only* the `BDMV` directory.
-
-VLC for desktop computers can open a repacked Blu-ray ISO and show the menus.
-Kodi for Android can open a repacked Blu-ray ISO and identify the titles.
-However, Kodi did not support the menus for the Blu-ray I tested.
