Pesky DVDs
Like most people, that wonderful collection of DVDs gathereth dust smudgy fingers, until you get kids.
And then the lifetime of said media plummets to days instead of the vaunted years.
I’m getting tired of trying out trialware that copies some dvds fine and just totally barfs on others. Linux wasn’t doing me any favours either but I’m going back there again with a few things to try:
Routed through: read # this # aloud
sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh
Installs libdvdcss libraries from medibuntu. Now to get back to trying out acidrip et. al.
dvdbackup –i /dev/dvd –M –o path-for-storage/
I won’t be burning to disk, since I want to watch them on the computer(s) but apparently the way to get the things back to disk is:
growisofs -speed 1 -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvdrw -dvd-video path-for-storage/MOVIETITLE/
For the truelly insane, or click-click amongst us, Ubuntu’s ‘Medibuntu’ (Multimedia, Entertainment & Distractions in Ubuntu) might be an appropriate distraction. I suppose adding it to your Ubuntu source list is the simplest thing you can do.
