Re: backing up dvds
with hardware DVD players, you'll need to use a DVD authoring software (like multimedia/dvdauthor) and a lot of reading before. not much readings if you don't care much of anything else than movie itself :) ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

dd if=/dev/acd0 of=/path/to/filename.iso bs=1024 this is how i make my .iso files of data disks. are you sure about 1024? did you mean 1024k?

Re: backing up dvds
Hello, I've got a 6.2 box with a dvd writer in it. I want to back up some dvds to iso files so i can recreate the dvds at a later time should it be needed. I for most if not any DVDs (all DVD-VIDEO i had) use dd if=/dev/cd0 of=file bs=128k bs size is just to make thing faster, it's not crucial may be any multiply of 2k. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

I don't know if this will make a difference, and i should have mentioned it in my original posts these are dvd videos and i want to get the complete dvd, everything. If it's legal in your part of the world: 1. Install /usr/ports/multimedia/libdvdcss 2. Install /usr/ports/multimedia/libdvdread 3. Install /usr/ports/sysutils/vobcopy 4. Run vobcopy -m to copy everything to harddisk 5. Backup the directory with growisofs BUT, be advised that menus may break, and that .ifo and .bup files may loose meaning (IIRC they refer to physical sectors on the DVD which are lost when copying (and deCSS-ing) the VOBs to disk. But the video/sound stuff is in the VOB. They're all that really matter. If you really want to recreate a DVD that is viewable with hardware DVD players, you'll need to use a DVD authoring software (like multimedia/dvdauthor) and a lot of reading before. Of course, all this is assuming that where you life, you are legally allowed to make a private backup copy, to use DeCSS to this purpose / or that you are the copyright owner of the content (owning the media is not enough). ;-) Thanks.
