+ <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 favorite 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>Anway, 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 repacking 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>
