dd only works on DVDs without CSS. Even if you "unlocked" the DVD drive using xine, you would be able to copy the encrypted data from the DVD but not all of the information required to play a CSS encrypted DVD.

My next question is whether MythTV can rip DVDs preserving DVD menus and chapters. I've done this in Windows using a little program which makes perfect or compressed rips, then Cyberlink PowerDVD can play these directly from hard disk. I've been looking around but don't see how this is done in MythTV. > > -- > Best regards, > Derek > This was on the list a while back. It will make a perfect copy to the HD of the entire DVD. I found you need to open the DVD with xine first to unlock it and then you can copy it. dd if=/dev/dvd of=/tmp/copy_of.iso bs=2048 xine dvd:///tmp/copy_of.dvd/ _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
