[gentoo-user] Slightly OT

I am wanting to rip all of my dvd's onto an external drive but whenever i mount my dvd drive (hdc) it shows it as a dvd. However when i open the folder there are no folders displayed as if it is a blank disk yet kaffine will still allow me to play the dvd. Has anyone encountered this or had any similar issues? I would like to have just a backup of all my movies on an external hard drive as i tend to lose dvd's quite a bit.
If anyone could offer some help it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

I assume you're "mounting" it by clicking it with Konqueror in KDE (I 
dunno if nautilus on gnome has the same behaviour).

In this case, you are not truly mounting it. HAL/KDE kioslaves guess the 
kind of media you have inserted and try to behave as sensible as possible.

Sometimes with good results (for example when 'mounting' an audio-cd 
-btw, an audio-cd is never properly mounted- you have virtual folders 
with mp3, FLACs, etc. that allow you to rip a CD by simple 
copy-and-paste).Sometimes not.

I know of two options:
a) mount the dvd by hand using 'mount' in a shell
b) emerge dvdrip, a truly good DVD backupping + ripping GUI tool, easy 
to use yet full of options.

Good morning!
      I am looking to back up my dvd collection and have dvdrip but i have a lot of dvd's which are encrypted which poses a problem is there any way to get around this. (i know all this could be slightly less than 100% legal, but considering i own all copies i figure a backup isn't an issue).
       any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

thanks in advance

media-libs/libdvdcss is a library you might want to look at.  portage's
description says "A portable abstraction library for DVD decryption."
Ive had no experience with it but this should be a step in the right
direction.

It would be helpful if you would take just one look at `man eix` to see what 
the arguments do.

-n isn't necessary since eix will automatically disable colors when it detects 
a pipe (the | sign). -c just makes the output more compact. -C means you're 
specifying a category but * isn't a category..

Furthermore if you type the above command (assuming you're using bash) eix 
doesn't get an * at all because bash expands it before ever executing the 
command. Try typing `echo *` to see what bash expands it to.

But no, even if you escaped or quoted the * properly eix doesn't expand it. 
But if you don't use --exact it always assumes wildcards. Hence `eix -C -c 
video` results in the same output as `eix -C -c media-video`. And `eix -c` 
outputs everything in the tree.

Instead of the silly grep above I'd just search descriptions with -S though...

I can confirm it does. Just make sure to have libdvdcss and the 
corresponding use flags.
