How curious, I was looking into readcd (I think) when I stumbled across that (lsdvd) and was going to play with it this evening!

I've played around with vobcopy and dvdbackup also. I discovered that if you use lsdvd to read the disc it stays decoded until the drive is ejected. This means instead of using dvdbackup + mkisofs you can do the following: 1) lsdvd /dev/dvd > /dev/null 2>&1 2) dd if=/dev/dvd of=/var/spool/videos/mydvd.iso This should avoid the need for mkisofs and save some time importing DVDs to the hard drive. -- Scott
