thanks for the great start Scott!) and then changed the Import DVD menu to
Import DVD Track and added a menu Import Entire DVD, I also added Video
Manager from Setup into this menu to have quick access to define IMDB info
for the DVDs I rip without all that extra navigation.
Here's what it does/I did:

Michael -
I've been exploring this as well not only becuase I want all the menu / navigation / extra features but because I want the Region 1 Closed Caption data saved too. I've played around with vobcopy and dvdbackup also. I discovered that if you use lsdvd to read the disc it stays decoded until the drive is ejected. This means instead of using dvdbackup + mkisofs you can do the following:
1) lsdvd /dev/dvd > /dev/null 2>&1 2) dd if=/dev/dvd of=/var/spool/videos/mydvd.iso
This should avoid the need for mkisofs and save some time importing DVDs to the hard drive.
