dvdbackup -F should do the job, if memory serves. That'll give you an un-CSSed version of the data on the disk, which is just one or more MPEG2 file(s), at the original resolution. If you want encoding from that to MPEG4, Handbrake is good, or avidemux if you want to edit the file(s) beforehand, or to encode to anything more exotic. Note that MPEG2 containers can, in extremis, be joined together using the cat command. :) Hugo. -- === Hugo Mills: h...@... carfax.org.uk | darksatanic.net | lug.org.uk === PGP key: 515C238D from wwwkeys.eu.pgp.net or http://www.carfax.org.uk --- Turning, pages turning in the widening bath, / The spine --- cannot bear the humidity. / Books fall apart; the binding cannot hold. / Page 129 is loosed upon the world.
