Thanks, dd is a good suggestion for ISO data. But what I need
is a 1:1 copy no matter what the DVD actually contains - I know,
I didn't mention this in a clear way, sorry.
For example, the cdrdao command I mentioned before does copy
the source 1:1 to the destination media, for cases such as
- an ISO image (data CD)
- audio tracks (music CD)
- VCD
- SVCD
- video files without ISO enclosing
(yes, my standalone player runs these, and it's
easy to mplayer -fs /dev/cd0 to watch a movie
that is an AVI or MPG file)
- an ISO image *and* audio tracks
I'm searching for the same functionality applyable to DVD,
so I can easily clone video DVDs I made, as well as data DVDs
or DVDs with audio tracks (yes, this works, too).
