Is there a front commmand string I can use here? Or online docs? FWIW the most useful howto on DVD backup techniques I've ever seen is here: http://kavlon.org/index.php/dvdbackup It says it's for Linux but all of the programs needed are available in FreeBSD's ports tree. It's command-line based, but parts of it could be scripted, etc. One additional note on the original ripping phase: I find tccat to be more reliable than vobcopy, although with some DVD's it makes sense to try both. And vobcopy is better at guessing which title is the feature if there is more than one.

still no luck in coping a 6 G dvd to a 4.7 dvd...
Guys, I've set up a test account which is pure KDE. Still, using both my Pioneer and the Lite-on burners, no luck in burning a DVD that is larger than thee default. This time I'm using a documentary that I own, so there is nothing wrong in making a backup. Results: Same thing as happened with the other commercially created DVD. K3B reads the disk flawlessly, but growisofs fails (perhaps) to do its thing. In any case, the program complains that there is not enough space on the blank and spits out the disk. I've tried replacing auto with generic-mmc-raw on the Lit-On burner. Nope.

Well you can start by purchasing a DVD writer that can burn double layer DVDs and purchase double layer media to burn it with. Most DVD drives will read double layer media but not many burners will write it. The media also costs a fortune. You must reauthor your DVD. You have 2 choices. First, you can read in the video file and split it in half. Then burn the first have to one DVD and the second half to the other DVD Second you can read it in then use a higher compression rate. Of course this will really degrade the video quality. Ted No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.

The size of the original DVD can be checked with dvd+rw-mediainfo (sysutils/dvd+rw-tools), ex: # dvd+rw-mediainfo /dev/cd0 If the source DVD is a 4.7G DVD then the simplest way might be to first make a duplicate image with dd, for example: # dd bs=2048 if=/dev/cd0 of=duplicate.iso This should produce an image of suitable size in the current directory to fit on another DVD which can be burned with growisofs (sysutils/dvd +rw-tools): # growisofs -dvd-compat -speed=4 -Z /dev/cd0=duplicate.iso The preceeding commands are only examples and may need to be adjusted for your hardware/situation.

The size of the original DVD can be checked with dvd+rw-mediainfo (sysutils/dvd+rw-tools), ex: The source is just over 6GB. bOth of my devices play them. k3b gave the exact number, but it is over 6.1 G. # dvd+rw-mediainfo /dev/cd0 If the source DVD is a 4.7G DVD then the simplest way might be to first make a duplicate image with dd, for example: # dd bs=2048 if=/dev/cd0 of=duplicate.iso Ah, ok, this is what k3b put in /ust/tmp/kde-kline/foo.iso. I decided to just-leave it for now. Only my source DVDs are around 6G rather than 4.7G. This should produce an image of suitable size in the current directory to fit on another DVD which can be burned with growisofs (sysutils/dvd +rw-tools): # growisofs -dvd-compat -speed=4 -Z /dev/cd0=duplicate.iso The preceeding commands are only examples and may need to be adjusted for your hardware/situation. I'm going to have to man -t the man page and read offline. Looks like I'll need to compress the source.
