XDVDShrink is a project in BASH and Perl-Gtk2 that allows you to create fair-use archival copies of DVD content on single-layer writable DVDs.

# Command-line and graphical interface
# Scriptable
# Copy single movies
# Copy multiple episodes
# Selectable audio stream (AC3 only)
# Option for one subtitle stream per DVD title


http://dvdshrink.sourceforge.net/

Maybe this is the app we've all been looking for?

I just tryed it out, and it seems to work pretty well. My only complaint is that it used A LOT of tmp space, about 10Gb for a full uncompressed dvd backup, which is understandable but is still a bit annoying Surprised

I installed it with the tar.gz. I got an error message about missing packages:
Code:
Checking for dependencies
   Transcode not installed or utilities not executable
   MJpegtools not installed or utilities not executable
   SubtitleRipper not installed or utilities not executable
   Dvdauthor not installed or utilities not executable
   GOcr is not installed or utilities not executable
These ( and several of these programs dependencies)were available through YaST2 and install went OK.
After typing dvdshrink, you get a configuration routine that runs a script created from your choices.
I used my copy of the Johnny Cash video "Hurt" to test it out and it stopped after a few minutes with this:
Code:
 Commenced DVD rip.
                     Video stream: /home/lynch/cdburn/JOHNNY_CASH/JOHNNY_CASH.m2v

libdvdread: Encrypted DVD support unavailable.
I found the m2v file in the default folder and it played fine; there just was'nt any sound, like the log said. Sad
Guess my install needs a little work.

I think suse installs intentionally broken versions of dvd libraries that cant read encrypted dvds cause of legal issues. That should be fixed if you install from source. Smile

I got them from packman: I understood that packman's versions were OK.
Anyway, It's just a test ( which was why I tried to copy a 4 minute DVD instead of Lord of The Rings, lol). It seems like a decent program; like I said, it's my install that needs some work. Smile

For Simply Mepis I did the following

apt-get install transcode
apt-get install mJpegtools
apt-get install subtitleripper
apt-get install dvdauthor
apt-get install gocr

THEN

installed the tar.gz file ........

confingured with a working directory/iso directory/and the name of the dvd device.

NOTE: I did NOT install perl-gtk2 ----- running from command line only using a terminal.

Exactly while I'll never use an rpm based distro again... such a pain to get software installed sometimes.

Looks pretty neat though.

Now if there was only a good app for AVI to DVD...
