Hi all,
I want to make a backup copy of my DVDs, but since they are copy protected I can't just copy them via k3b. I thougt I could rip it with dvd:rip and then burn it to DVD, but it seems that dvd:rip is only for backups to CD-ROM (or did I miss something?).
Isn't there a CloneDVD-like tool for Linux, which I can use to make backup copies of my copy protected DVDs?
I can't understand why people don't take dvd::rip more seriously.
Because it looks like a UI written by a Perlmonger?
Sexy to boot.
Mostly, thats the
reason to discard it. It makes fancy commandlines, but it doesn't help you, you still need to know that hrez vs vrez must be even multiples of 16, and so on.
It nicely calculates just these values, and if you decide to change them to non-x16 multiples then it will tell you so, and that this is sub-optimal. Please explain to me how this is unhelpful. It is an excellent piece of software that helps you to get very good results in a very short time. As I said, if you want to spend the time optimising then you might get better results with mencoder (or straight transcode). It will *certainly* take you far longer though.
for a commandline tool, dvdread can store a dvd, unfortunately most dvd's sold are 6.x gig or so, and wont' really fit on your average single-layer burnables.
Which is the point in further compressing it...
Cheers Antoine
