Next, follow the instructions from the Ubuntu Forums to compile and install MPlayer 2.0 from CVS.
Now we can actually rip the DVD:
cd ~/tmp handbrake -e xvid -E ac3 -2 -S 1400 -i /dev/cdrom -o MOVIENAME.avi
Finally, split the DVD into two files:
mencoder -ovc copy -oac copy -endpos 700MB -o MOVIENAME.CD1.avi MOVIENAME.avi
The output will finish with something like:
Video stream: 1297.378 kbit/s (162172 B/s) size: 638610165 bytes 3937.851 secs 94414 frames
Note the number of seconds (in this case: 3937).
mencoder -ovc copy -oac copy -ss NUMER_OF_SECONDS -o MOVIENAME.CD2.avi MOVIENAME.avi
That's it!
