Using vobcopy, you can rip vob files from dvd's, sometimes you just want the audio only from the dvd..... so, first I use vobcopy to rip the vob files..... then, I tried this and it worked....

I found a lot of ripping stuff at the website from packman! I like JHymn and vobcopy!
vobcopy called without arguments will find the mounted dvd and copy the title with the most chapters to the current working directory (thats the directory you're invoking vobcopy from). It will merge together the sub-vobs of each title-vob (vts_xx_yy.vob => the xx is the title-vob, the yy and friends are the sub-vobs, mostly of 1 GB size) and copy them to harddisk in 2 GB chunks. It will get the title of the movie from the dvd and copy the data to name-of-moviexx-1.vob, name-of-moviexx-2.vob (the xx being the title number). Also possible is to mirror the whole video dvd content and single files can also be copied.

Important Note: Vobcopy does NOT work on "recent" Sony DVDs. Sony's form of copyright infringment (yes I meant to say that) places bad sectors all over the disc which vobcopy and every other program I've tried chokes on. I don't know how far back "recent" is, but within the last couple years is a good guess. Older Sony DVDs may or may not work, and some other studios (most notably Disney) may cause problems with vobcopy due to their copyright infringement efforts.

I did try ddrescue once and after 3 days I gave up, but didn't fail..just moved VERY slowly

Didn't try that 'dd conv=noerror' either; might try that.

One thing ddrescue did do was make it very annoying to use my desktop system (everything was slow), so it's more of an over-nighter task if it works.
