Before I found dvdbackup I used the method (with a few modifications, like the conv=noerror option and adding a call to 'pv' in the pipline to give myself a progress bar) exclusively and rarely ran into a disk that had issues. Those disks could be ripped with k3b's copy DVD image... function, which I guess uses the equivalent of cd-paranoia for DVDs, and also retries errors (like conv=noerror), but still just gives a .iso as output. -- "If there's one thing we've established over the years, it's that the vast majority of our users don't have the slightest clue what's best for them in terms of package stability." -- Gentoo Developer Ciaran McCreesh
