This is anything but proper Linux solution: DVD shrink under wine works
perfectly for me.

Hi all,
I want to make a backup copy of my DVDs, but since they are copy protected I can't just copy them via k3b. I thougt I could rip it with dvd:rip and then burn it to DVD, but it seems that dvd:rip is only for backups to CD-ROM (or did I miss something?).
Isn't there a CloneDVD-like tool for Linux, which I can use to make backup copies of my copy protected DVDs?
I can't understand why people don't take dvd::rip more seriously. It is really great (though doesn't do menus but none of the other solutions seem to either). People think that you only do cds with it - silly. You just specify the size you want the output avi and it calculates everything for you. You can do multiple languages and subtitles all there and there is no need to do things manually like with mencoder. You probably get better control and quality with mencoder but to do things properly (crop, multiple langs, etc) you spend sooooo much time. Writing a tool to do it will always fall short of dvd::rip for me - they have already done almost all of the hard work. Give it a proper go (i.e., 10 copies or so) before knocking it.
