Hi All,
I need to duplicate some DVDs that I have just mastered. Using a FC4
machine, k3b won't do it - it reads 2Mb then complains and won't eject
the disk without a manual 'eject' call. How can I simply duplicate
a straightforward video DVD that I have just created myself ?
Assuming you have the ISO image you created, just burn it:
growisofs -Z /dev/dvd=my-dvd.iso
In general GUI tools which do little but call command line tools make it
hard to get to the features of the command line tools :-(
On the other hand, I wish I could find a tool which simplified taking
15-20 short training clips and making them into a DVD (or SVCD) with a
title and blurb for each one. XML is a great language for computers, not
humans.
If you have no image, but a DVD, just read the ISO back to disk. Use
"isoinfo -d -i /dev/dvd" and note the number of blocks, then dd the info
to a file:
dd if=/dev/dvd bs=2k count=BLOCKS_FROM_ISOINFO of=my-dvd.iso
All pretty simple from command line.
k9copy is a great DVD copying tool. I think there's an RPM for it in
Extras or from the download site for it. It works very well.
DVDStyler is great for automating a lot of video clips into DVD format
along with a fairly straightforward menu building system. It may not be
a comprehensive as some pay packages, but it works well for me.
Can a across the counter video/DVD that has copying potection be
duplicated in Linux??
