Package: dvdbackup Version: 0.4.2-4+b1 Severity: wishlist Tags: upstream Dear Maintainer,
vlc plays my old scratched dvd's without ANY viewing issues while dvdbackup creates a disk image with lots of remarks in the log about i/o errors, e.g., Error reading VTS_06_1.VOB at block 34304, read error returned padding 512 blocks and when I attempt to view that disk image with vlc, there are lots of viewing artifacts. So it is pretty clear that vlc deals with i/o issues *on the fly (which is the more difficult problem) in a much better manner than dvdbackup does with all the time in the world to do the right thing. So my wishlist bug report for dvdbackup is it adopts the same excellent workarounds for i/o issues that vlc uses so that the visual results of running vlc on a disk image created by dvdbackup are the same as running vlc on the original (scratched) DVD. -- System Information: Debian Release: 10.11 APT prefers oldstable-debug APT policy: (500, 'oldstable-debug'), (500, 'oldstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 5.10.0-0.bpo.11-amd64 (SMP w/16 CPU cores) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=en_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_CA:en (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages dvdbackup depends on: ii libc6 2.28-10 ii libdvdread4 6.0.1-1 dvdbackup recommends no packages.
