  22       <div class="date">17th September 2011</div>
  23       <div class="body"><p>For convenience, I want to store copies of all my DVDs on my file
  24 server.  It allow me to save shelf space flat while still having my
  25 movie collection easily available.  It also make it possible to let
  26 the kids see their favorite DVDs without wearing the physical copies
  27 down.  I prefer to store the DVDs as ISOs to keep the DVD menu and
  28 subtitle options intact.  It also ensure that the entire film is one
  29 file on the disk.  As this is for personal use, the ripping is
  30 perfectly legal here in Norway.</p>
  31
  32 <p>Normally I rip the DVDs using dd like this:</p>
  33
  34 <blockquote><pre>
  35 #!/bin/sh
  36 # apt-get install lsdvd
  37 title=$(lsdvd 2>/dev/null|awk '/Disc Title: / {print $3}')
  38 dd if=/dev/dvd of=/storage/dvds/$title.iso bs=1M
  39 </pre></blockquote>
  40
  41 <p>But some DVDs give a input/output error when I read it, and I have
  42 been looking for a better alternative.  I have no idea why this I/O
  43 error occur, but suspect my DVD drive, the linux kernel driver or
  44 something fishy with the DVDs in question.  Or perhaps all three.</p>
  45
  46 <p>Anway, I believe I found a solution today using dvdbackup and
  47 genisoimage.  This script gave me a working ISO for a problematic
  48 movie by first extracting the DVD file system and then repacking it
  49 back as an ISO.
  50
  51 <blockquote><pre>
  52 #!/bin/sh
  53 # apt-get install lsdvd dvdbackup genisoimage
  54 set -e
  55 tmpdir=/storage/dvds/
  56 title=$(lsdvd 2>/dev/null|awk '/Disc Title: / {print $3}')
  57 dvdbackup -i /dev/dvd -M -o $tmpdir -n$title
  58 genisoimage -dvd-video -o $tmpdir/$title.iso $tmpdir/$title
  59 rm -rf $tmpdir/$title
  60 </pre></blockquote>
  61
  62 <p>Anyone know of a better way available in Debian/Squeeze?</p>
