So even something that just copies blocks of data, like dd, can't be used for that purpose? I have no interest in tearing apart the DVD in any way. It was more about the idea of a fire causing the loss of maybe $15K-$20K investment over the years. I can rip all the CDs, keep the ripped version here to watch on the computer, and store the DVDs elsewhere, but that elimiates (generally) being able to watch special features which my wife and kid enjoy. Thanks for the info. - Mark
