[gentoo-user] CLI DVD copy?

[gentoo-user] CLI DVD copy?

[Mark Knecht]

I've got 1 DVD that for some reason fails to rip using Handbrake. I
then tried it in dvd::rip and it said it couldn't read the table of
contents. However after all of that the DVD plays fine in xine as well
as on my DVD player so I doubt there is anything truly wrong with the
DVD itself.

I was considering making a copy of this DVD to keep for bug testing in
the future. I'm wondering how to make a copy of a DVD movie at the
command line? All the things I'm finding in Google point to dvd::rip
or other GUI apps. I tried a simple dd copy, ala

dd if=/dev/dvd of=Movie.iso

but that fails also.

Thanks,
Mark

dvdunauthor /dev/dvd
(from media-video/dvdauthor)

or

vobcopy -m /dev/dvd
(from media-video/vobcopy)

one of those should do the trick

vobcopy comes to mind. And if that fails also, you could try ddrescue and then
perhaps vobcopy on the created copy.

That will only work with unencrypted DVDs.

I use dvdbackup, and it hasn't failed me yet.

Thanks to all three of you for your answers. Seeing them I remember
Neil suggesting vobcopy when I was first looking into ripping DVDs to
play on my Kindle.

I need to study all the suggestions. If it wasn't clear, being that
this problem with handbrake crashing occurs when it attempts to rip a
physical CD I'll also want to determine how to recreate a new physical
CD that causes the same problem so that I can evaluate fixes to
handbrake whenever they come along.

Again, thanks for your inputs.

Cheers,
Mark

If you only want the main title and not all the padding (sorry "extras")

mplayer -streamdump dvd://1

It doesn't work for copy protected discs. Also, here it would be:

$ mplayer -dumpstream -dumpfile title.vob dvd://1

there's no -streamdump option on my mplayer (1.0_rc4_p20110322-r1)

My bad, I was working from memory, which is suffering from bit rot (as it
the rest of me).
