DVD::Rip and Burning to DVD
I am a complete newbie when it comes to backing up DVD's but am slowly learning a lot. I purchased a new Sony DRU-700A Dual Layer DVD+RW drive the other day and want backup a Video DVD to it.
I reckon I could do a complete copy of a Video DVD using a Dual layer disc but would rather use something like DVD::Rip which I like a lot. Is there something simular to DVD::Rip that allows me to burn to DVD or is it just CD's ALso is there any documentation for idiots about backing up Video DVD's to DVD+RW. Thanks in advance James Lapthorn |
I got DVDShrink working under the latest version of Wine. I am still looking for a 100% native linux solution, but I've not found anything with the capabilities, quality, and ease of use like Shrink.

Thinks ill give that a go, does anyone else know of a native Linux solution?????

You could rip each title into a separate file in a directory on your hdd like this:
mencoder -oac copy -ovc copy -o /path/to/dvddir/<titleN.mpg> dvd://titleN Then you could use e.g. mkdvd.pike (check out http://fredrik.hubbe.net/hacks/mkdvd.html) to reproduce the dvd and burn it onto a dvd: mkdvd.pike --burn title1.mpg title2.mpg ... titleN.mpg But its only a theory as I never did it myself; and maybe someone knows a better way. Edit: Maybe to create an iso from the dvd by k3b and burn it to an other dvd? |
Since you have a dual layer burner, you don't have to worry about shrinking as long as you burn to a dual layer disk. You can use dvdbackup. Once installed, type:
Code:
dvdbackup -M -i /dev/dvd -o /my/dvd/backup/dir/ |
