[gentoo-user] slightly ot

[Kellystewart00]

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.
