hanes Posted July 19, 2006 Report Share Posted July 19, 2006 Is there any way to backup a dvd in Linux? I have used wine and DVDShrink, but it is quite annoying. I am looking for one app, to rip and burn, not a 12 step solution. I have read some guides that are quite a bit more annoyining then my current method: Step 1: Reboot into windows Step 2: Rip and burn all in one step with DVD Shrink I have used DVD Shrink in linux but you then have to burn the disk with growiso or K3B. Just wondering if there is an easier way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scarecrow Posted July 19, 2006 Report Share Posted July 19, 2006 k9copy- simple, stable+effective. Also- DVDShrink (for windows) under wine. It works just great- I can assure you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

null Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 I never heard of k9copy, thanks for the heads up. I just installed it with urpmi. Unfortunately, when I try to run it, it crashes with a signal 11 (SIGSEGV). Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gul Dukat Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 (edited) K9copy works fine here. Super for shrinking DVS's. But you can also try DVDshrink. It's not the same as the Windows-version and it is in the urpmi-sources. Edited July 20, 2006 by Gul Dukat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 (edited) Dunno why k9copy crashes on you... might be the backend, which is k3b. Works fine here (version 1.0.4 with k3b 0.12.16). Try doing: urpmi strace strace -o /home/null/k9errlog k9copy This will debug the program starting errors, and write them all down to a file at your home folder named "k9errlog" (of course replace above /home/null/ with your actual home directory).

null Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 ok I did the strace. Output was about a mile long... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 you'll want to post the last few lines, but might i suggest doing it in it's own topic instead of hijacking this one? ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
null Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 ok, I guess, but k9copy was recommended to the original poster, so I don't see how questions about installing k9copy are a 'hijack' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
