[gentoo-user] {OT} app to create DVD image?

[Grant]

Does anyone know of an app that will create a DVD image that can be
burned to a DVD for playback on a regular home DVD player?  I was
using dvdstyler but it depends on xine-ui which doesn't compile
against xine-lib-1.2 which I need.

K3b should do it.  At least I see a "New Video DVD Project" option. 
Never tried it though.  Note that I'm using the live ebuild (9999-r1) 
from the kde-testing overlay, so not sure if this supported with older 
K3b versions.

I have k3b-1.0.5 installed and that option is not there.  Sounds really
cool tho.  Looking forward to that going stable.

"New Video DVD Project" is only a shortcut to create a data DVD with the
two folders VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS. It also checks if all needed files
are there to form a valid video-DVD.
But it can't author a DVD, only burn the pre-authored files to disk/image.

WOW.  Great program!

One good tip deserves another so I highly recommend the movie "The
Beautiful Truth".  I wanted an app like this so I can burn copies of
that movie for everyone I know.

Hi,

if you want to have an iso of an dvd you can use dd to do so. For a 
reason I don't understand you will have to run mplayer first for a 
second or so.
(For me this works fine as long as the sources isn't bigger than 4,7GB)

I think you can only "properly" use `dd` if the DVD is region 0.
Are you sure that mplayer is needed in that case?

If the DVD is regionalised, then running mplayer will allow you to  
clone it to hard-drive, but I don't think that image will then be  
burnable. At least, not to play on a regular household DVD player -  
the image will still carry some CSS encryption.

I use this method regularly to clone DVDs to hard-drive for ripping to  
MP4. But during that ripping process mencoder does some decryption  
transparently.

This is discussed in August's long thread "Cloning movie DVDs with dd  
- only works after accessing disk with another command?".

Stroller.

CSS encryption and regio-code are to pair of shoes.
You can have a regio 0 disc with CSS and a regio >0 without CSS

The package media-video/tovid has a series of scripts for converting
video, DVD menus, burning the DVD image etc. See http://tovid.org/ for
more details.
