Why don't you use the (very old, but still effective) dd [1] command to create an ISO image? dd if=/dev/<your-dvd-device> of=<some-path>/bakup.iso bs=2048 conv=sync,notrunc That will make an exact copy of your DVD into your hard disk. I don't know if this is what you want to do. Ricardo. [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dd_(Unix)
