+ <p>For convenience, I want to store copies of all my DVDs on my file
+server. It allow me to save shelf space flat while still having my
+movie collection easily available. It also make it possible to let
+the kids see their favourite DVDs without wearing the physical copies
+down. I prefer to store the DVDs as ISOs to keep the DVD menu and
+subtitle options intact. It also ensure that the entire film is one
+file on the disk. As this is for personal use, the ripping is
+perfectly legal here in Norway.</p>
+
+<p>Normally I rip the DVDs using dd like this:</p>
+
+<blockquote><pre>
+#!/bin/sh
+# apt-get install lsdvd
+title=$(lsdvd 2>/dev/null|awk '/Disc Title: / {print $3}')
+dd if=/dev/dvd of=/storage/dvds/$title.iso bs=1M
+</pre></blockquote>
+
+<p>But some DVDs give a input/output error when I read it, and I have
+been looking for a better alternative. I have no idea why this I/O
+error occur, but suspect my DVD drive, the Linux kernel driver or
+something fishy with the DVDs in question. Or perhaps all three.</p>
+
+<p>Anyway, I believe I found a solution today using dvdbackup and
+genisoimage. This script gave me a working ISO for a problematic
+movie by first extracting the DVD file system and then re-packing it
+back as an ISO.
+
+<blockquote><pre>
+#!/bin/sh
+# apt-get install lsdvd dvdbackup genisoimage
+set -e
+tmpdir=/storage/dvds/
+title=$(lsdvd 2>/dev/null|awk '/Disc Title: / {print $3}')
+dvdbackup -i /dev/dvd -M -o $tmpdir -n$title
+genisoimage -dvd-video -o $tmpdir/$title.iso $tmpdir/$title
+rm -rf $tmpdir/$title
+</pre></blockquote>
+
+<p>Anyone know of a better way available in Debian/Squeeze?</p>
+
+<p>Update 2011-09-18: I got a tip from Konstantin Khomoutov about the
+readom program from the wodim package. It is specially written to
+read optical media, and is called like this: <tt>readom dev=/dev/dvd
+f=image.iso</tt>. It got 6 GB along with the problematic Cars DVD
+before it failed, and failed right away with a Timmy Time DVD.</p>
+
+<p>Next, I got a tip from Bastian Blank about
+<a href="http://bblank.thinkmo.de/blog/new-software-python-dvdvideo">his
+program python-dvdvideo</a>, which seem to be just what I am looking
+for. Tested it with my problematic Timmy Time DVD, and it succeeded
+creating a ISO image. The git source built and installed just fine in
+Squeeze, so I guess this will be my tool of choice in the future.</p>
