Have you tried dd?
Code:
dd if=/dev/dvd of=/path/to/output.iso

This will copy the dvd bit for bit, with no compression, so the output file will be huge, I don't know how it would handle bad sectors, worth a try I suppose.


While I'm pretty sure that the copy would work, the players still choke on the bad sectors. For example, MPlayer plays the first 10 seconds of Pirates of the Carribbean (while stuttering) and then just halts amd takes my system with it. I can't even play the movie straight off the disc. Mad

But thanks for the suggestion.

nukes, I didn't see how to tell ddrescue to null-pad bad sectors, but I am trying to use it to do the following:

1. "rescue" the data from my DVD to an ISO file
2. mount the ISO
3. copy the data from the mounted ISO to the final location where I keep my video backups

I will probably try to play the movie from the mounted ISO first just to make sure it works. If it does, this seems to be the easiest solution and I could simply write a little bash script to run the copy/mount/copy for me.

Thanks everyone for your help, I 'll let you know if I get anything working. Crouse, I still plan to check out the VideoLinux distro because it sounds very interesting.

Just an update....

ddrescue has been running for about 2.5 days and is currently "splitting error areas" in search of more good data (which I take to mean it has already gone over the whole disc once, and is now re-investigating the bad sectors for possible good data).

Here's the stats so far:
Code:

rescued:     6212 MB,  errsize:   2327 MB,  current rate:        0 B/s
   ipos:   287556 kB,   errors:   64172,    average rate:    37505 B/s
   opos:   287556 kB
Splitting error areas...


I'm hoping this will complete in the next day or two -- it's really eating up my CPU and making it hard for me to use my PC. Crying or Very sad But I gotta know if it works.
