There are several perl & bash scripts about to do this already.  Most of them use

Have a look at these, maybe they will fit your needs...

Ripit - http://www.netcomuk.co.uk/~squinn/ripit.html
Ripenc - sorry don't have URL handy... 

Anyway have a search on freshmeat, you will find several examples.
