This should avoid the need for mkisofs and save some time importing DVDs to the hard drive.
So...if I add cdrecord to this sequence I can essentially make an exact no hassles duplicate of a DVD? I don't have to use DVD ripper software or anything else? Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarm out!!!!
I assume you mean to use cdrecord to write the *.ISO file back to a DVD-R disc. Problem is most movies are not oging to fit on the traditional single layer DVD-Rs you can buy. double sided DVD-R media is just now becoming popular (and expensive) and you need a drive that supports dual layer (DL is the common marketing term) recording.
For just keeping the ISO files on the hard drive this shouldn't be a problem though and cdrecord is not needed.
know if what I said about cdrecord (to write the .iso file to the DVD) would,
in fact, result in a duplicate of the original DVD.
