kenton Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 Believe it or not, I'm not asking this question out of piracy means, I do backup my DVD movies and games from time to time when I notice scratches. Can anyone point me in the direction of DVD Decryptor for Linux? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 i don't know if this will actually work...but you can try it. if you just want an ISO to burn, not to play it on your computer, you can try: dd if=/dev/dvd of=/where/ever/you/want/the.iso obviously /dev/dvd would point to your dvd device (this can depend on your setup). and the second just points to where ever you want the iso file. i haven't tried this, it works for cdroms so i assume it should work for dvd's. you would then just burn the iso to a dvd and hopefully it'll work out. however, there is the problem that many newer dvd's use dvd+ instead of dvd-, and most all burnable dvd's are only dvd-. the difference is mainly that dvd- holds only 4 gigs and i believe dvd+ holds 8.

kenton Posted October 25, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 No. The particular discs I'm copying are DVD5 (i.e. single layer, 4.7GB maximum). They don't have any sort of DVD-specific region encoding, all the region encoding is in the actual software. They don't encorporate any sort of specific copy protection, either, all the copy protection routines are built into the actual reader hardware. No one actually has a "ripper" program?

Steve Scrimpshire Posted October 26, 2004 Report Share Posted October 26, 2004 (edited) k3b should be able to do it. You could also take a look here: http://networking.ringofsaturn.com/Unix/FreeBSD-Burning.php It talks about FreeBSD, but it seems generic enough. Also DVD::RIP: http://www.exit1.org/dvdrip/ Edited October 26, 2004 by Steve Scrimpshire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenton Posted October 26, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2004 K3b will burn iso files, but not create them. If it does, I missed the option. Where is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theYinYeti Posted October 26, 2004 Report Share Posted October 26, 2004 I don't know what the project current status is (it is still evolving), but have a look at tovid: http://tovid.sourceforge.net Yves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where is it? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Tools->DVD->Copy DVD and tell it not to delete the image. Does that not create an .iso? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
