My additions in my quest.
GUI:
K9Copy: http://k9copy.free.fr/I am currently using this application, so far I like how it functions and you are able to select and de-select chapters via gui.
Description
K9Copy is a small utility which allows the copy of DVD on Linux.
The DVD video stream is compressed by the program Vamps.
1. Copy without menus :
In this case, dvdauthor is used to create a new DVD structure. It is possible to choose the order in which the video sequences are played.
2. Copy with menus :
As dvdauthor does not make it possible to integrate the original menus, K9Copy reproduces the original structure of the DVD. The navigation packs as well as IFO files are modified to point on the compressed MPEG stream.
The creation of personalized menus has not been renewed in version 1.0.0.
Features
* The video stream is compressed to make the DVD fit on 4.7 Gb recordable DVD
* DVD Burning
* Creation of ISO images
* Possibility of selecting the audio tracks and subtitles to be copied
* Title preview (video only)
* Possibility of preserving the original menus
Kdvdbackup: http://agmanager.sourceforge.net/kdvdbackup.html or
http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=12698I have not used this application, it is next on my list to test, should I find myself not liking K9Copy.
The kdvdbackup is a utility for backing up DVD movies to hard disk. It uses the libdvdread and libdvdnav library,
and if the libdvdcss library is installed, encrypted DVDs can be backuped.
# Based on dvdbackup
# Preview and DVD analyze code from k9copy project
Features
# Backup an entire DVD movie into the hard disk.
# Backup only selected titles and/or selected chapters from a title.
# Making ISO image from the extracted DVD Movie
# Preview feature.
# Easy to use user interface, following the KDE standards.
thoggen: http://thoggen.net/I have not used this yet, I am watching it's development to see how it comes along (if you have used this please share your experience with all to see).
Desc:
Thoggen is designed to be easy and straight-forward to use. It attempts to hide the complexity many other transcoding tools expose and tries to offer sensible defaults that work okay for most people most of the time.
Features:
*Easy to use, with a nice graphical user interface (GUI)
*Supports title preview, picture cropping, and picture resizing.
*Language Selection for audio track (no subtitle support yet though)
*Encodes into Ogg/Theora video
*Can encode from local directory with video DVD files
*Based on the GStreamer multimedia framework, which makes it fairly easy to add additional encoding formats/codecs in future.

gnomebaker: http://gnomebaker.sourceforge.net/v2/
About
Gnomebaker is a GTK2/GNOME cd burning application. I’ve been writing it in my spare time so progress is fairly slow. It’s more of a personal project as I wanted to have a go at developing on Linux and I figured that as I had got this far I may as well let it loose on the world.
Maybe someone will like it and use it. If you like Gnomebaker, please rate it here. The project package is located here.
Features
As of 0.5 Gnomebaker can:
* Create Audio CDs from existing WAVs, MP3, FLAC and Oggs
* Import M3U and PLS audio playlists
* Create Data CDs
* Blank ReWritable disks
* Copy Data CDs
* Copy Audio CDs
* Burn existing CD ISO images
* Can burn via SCSI and ATAPI on linux kernels 2.4 and 2.6. Basically if cdrecord works then Gnomebaker will work
* Drag and drop to create Data CDs (including DnD to and from nautilus)
* Integrate with GConf for storage of application settings
* Burn DVDs
* Supports multisession burning
* Blank/Format DVDs
* Burn Cue/Bin files
* Burn Data CDs on the fly
In the future it will also do the following and hopefully much more:
* Create Video CDs from existing video and stills
* Create mixed mode CDs
K3B: http://www.k3b.org/==> I use this and I like the interface and have been very happy with the outputs so far. <==
The basic K3b idea
K3b was created to be a feature-rich and easy to handle CD burning application. It consists of basicly three parts:
1. The projects:
Projects are created from the file menu and then filled with data to burn.
2. The Tools:
The tools menu offers different tools like CD copy or DVD formatting.
3. Context sensitive media actions:
When clicking on the Icon representing a CD/DVD drive K3b will present it's contents and allow some further action. This is for example the way to rip audio CDs.
K3b features
The features are presented in no particular order and the list might be incomplete...
* Creating data cds:
o Add files and folders to your data cd project via drag'n'drop.
o Remove files from your project, move files within your project.
