h1. dvdcopy: backup your DVDs to disk
|
|
|
|
This program copies the contents of video DVDs to disk using
|
|
libdvdread. This means it can benefit of the present of libdvdcss on
|
|
your computer.
|
|
|
|
This program was designed as a means to view DVDs from public
|
|
libraries, as those are too scratched to be viewed directly with
|
|
DVD-playing software such as xine, and must be copied to hard disk
|
|
first.
|
|
|
|
h2. Installation instructions
|
|
|
|
Make sure you have the @dvdread@ development files installed first,
|
|
which on Debian based distros such as Ubuntu is just a matter of running:
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
% sudo apt-get install libdvdread-dev
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
Then, unpack the tarball and run
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
% ./configure
|
|
% make
|
|
% sudo make install
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
That should get you running.
|
|
|
|
|
|
h2. Use
|
|
|
|
Typical use:
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
% dvdcopy /dev/dvd Movie
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
This copies the contents of the video DVD @/dev/dvd@ into the
|
|
directory @Movie@. Most video-playing softwares can play DVDs directly
|
|
in directories. For instance, with xine, you would use:
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
% xine dvd://`pwd`/Movie
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
h2. Caveats
|
|
|
|
@dvdcopy@ won't work on devices you don't have read access to. On
|
|
Debian systems, this usually means you need to be member of the
|
|
@cdrom@ group. |
