DvdShrink 3.2 from Mr Bass works http://www.mrbass.org/dvdshrink/, however only for nonencrypted ones. Have not learned how to use DVD43 with wine in Linux to help this case. For all other cases, try DVDFabDecrypter http://www.dvdidle.com/free.htm You will need to rip the movie first to hard disk and then use Shrink to make an iso and burn with K3B or growisofs from command line. It could work, I have not tested for the past year. IT worked with FC5 Test 2 on a machine I ran for testing, have not tried since. > > I tried downloading vobcopy, and it's been running a > couple > of *days* trying to rip a two hour movie! > > Anyone here with experience ripping/copying DVDs > using > Linux? > > Not trying to give away or sell, just for personal > use. > Each time a DVD gets taken out of its case, there > are > microcracks and scratches.

Make a backup copy and use it and if you need it because a child scratched it, you can easily bring it back. IT makes alot of sense, instead of dishing out more $$ for another copy. > > Mike > -- > p="p=%c%s%c;main(){printf(p,34,p,34);}";main(){printf(p,34,p,34);} > Oppose globalization and One World Governments like > the UN. > This message made from 100% recycled bits. > You have found the bank of Larn. > I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it > for you. > I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that! > > -- > fedora-list mailing list > fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe: > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list > Regards, Antonio ____________________________________________________________________________________ 8:00? 8:25? 8:40?
