Yeah, actually, i'm backing up DVDs on media that might be smaller than the source (think: DVD1 - business-card sized). For that, i'm trying to do the "right thing" and eliminate less important parts, in an attempt to preserve unchanged the stuff that matters. If i have room to back it up wholesale, fine. vobcopy can do that. If i can back up just the whole main title, fine. If i can back up just one V and one A track (and maybe subtitles as well) from the main title, fine. The last resort is when even #3 doesn't work, so i have to shrink the main V track. > for that 'vstrip' is the perfect tool for the job. I'm currently experimenting with another way: tccat -i /dev/dvd -t dvd -P 1 -d 0 | \ tcdemux -i blah.vob -A 0xe0,0x80,0x20 > small.vob So, instead of dumping the whole title and then stripping it, this way you extract the stuff you want directly. But the empty NAV packets might be a problem with this method. But i'll have a look at vstrip as well. > Nice thing about vstrip is that is retains the VOB structure - no > mplex run necessary.
