Applications :: Making Back-up Copies Of DVDs Using Dvdrip
Nov 3, 2010
It has been such time that I have been making back-up copies of my DVDs using dvdrip. Lately I tried to back-up DVD of Iron Man2 and was surprised to see so many titles under Table of Contents. 93 titles of which re all running 2 hours plus. And so I ripped the recommended one which is the longest running title. Surprisingly, the output is all screwed up. Meaning scene one is at the end along with some scenes from the middle of the film and so on. Is there any way to correctly choose which of the 93 titles is the right one please? Obviously, I can't go through the motions of doing it one by one. Or would it be more practical to just copy the whole DVD image and burn in another DVD instead of making a HD back-up?

I am trying to make a backup copy of a DVD without success. k3b simply stays there silent doing nothing and I have to terminate the application. Is there a way to make DVD copies if one needs to?EDIT:I am using the home partition for caching as it is the biggest one on the disks; /tmp is too small.

Is there anyway of playing the digital copies that come with bluray and dvds - these appear to be encrypted using DRM.

As an example, I have two servers, sm-i222 and fileserv. sm-i222 is a Win2k3 system running cygwin. fileserv is a linux box running RHEL 4.7. sm-i222 maps /cygdrive/c to the c: drive and /cygdrive/d maps to the d: drive(actually a single 4TB RAID). from the sm-i222 server /cygdrive/c I call a small script from the crontab. The internal IP for fileserv is 10.0.0.7. See below.
cd /cygdrive/d/fileserv/home
rm -rf /cygdrive/d/fileserv/home/*
rsync -avz -e 'ssh -c blowfish' root@10.0.0.7:/home/* .
These three lines perform well in that they make a full transfer of the fileserv:/home/ directory on fileserv to the appropriate place on sm-i222 using rsync. I use rsync instead of scp because I have to traverse subdirectories and symbolic links in the /home/... filesystem on fileserv. What I'm looking to do is use rsync to do an incremental transfer/backup of only the files that have changed since the last full backup. I'll manage the times I do this manually or in crontab. A colleague says this is do-able, but not how. Rsync.org says this is do-able but not how. Cygwin says this is do-able... see rsync.org. I believe what I'm looking for is a single rsync line like I have above that only transfers the changed files on fileserv to sm-i222.

I want to take a graphics file and make 10 copies of it to the same directory, each with 001, 002, or some such designation at the end of each file name so they have discrete files names. Is this possible using cp?

I'm trying to back up one of my dvds to my hdd. My usual method is to copy the video_ts folder onto my hdd and convert it from there. I popped this dvd into my computer and nautilus is saying that there is 71.8gb of data on this disk. If I run df -h, here's what I see:
[Code]..
There are actually 65 of these 1gb files. why this is happening or how to get this backed up?

I recently installed Kubuntu, but I can't play back DVDs.
I also added handbrake and VLC, because I would like to rip my DVDs and I understand that I need libdvdcss.
I've followed various instructions on the forum for adding files from Medibuntu, but I still can't even play back a commercial DVD.

I'm trying to find a good way to rip my dvd collection to .iso files so that i can back them up on my media server. my eventual goal is to be able to play these on my htpc over the network. note before anyone gets pissy: there is no piracy involved, I own all of the dvds that I will be ripping.anyway I've gotten as far as installing all the necessary codecs (i think) off of the medibuntu repos but brasero fails at 97% or so and while k3b does complete the rip, if i try using gnome mplayer, vlc or movieplayer to play the iso all i get is either the FBI warning or at most the dvd menu before the program crashes.

What I want to do is force my DVD burner to use full writing power on the entire surface of a DVD. This should be able to invisibly damage the contained data, and should work on CDs, DVDs and BRDs too (in theory). I don't want to write data over it, so it's not a matter of having a RW disc or a R one. The result I want to obtain is simply an unreadable disc that does not look damaged. Do you know if there's a program able to ignore a disc being already full and perform this task?

After a fresh Squeeze install, I tried to install dvdrip: apt-get install dvdrip Pakketlijsten worden ingelezen... Klaar Boom van vereisten wordt opgebouwd De status informatie wordt gelezen...

I have tried installing logmein in wine. It installed fine, but didn't work so I removed it. Its icons though, would not be deleted so I removed Wine entry in "Edit menus".
after this I purged wine, deleted /.wine and reinstalled, but the menu entries do not get reinstalled. I know how to make launchers, what I want is the interactive menus back (browse c, uninstall and programs)

My list of programs under Application > Wine had become messed up, with some entries for programs that had been uninstalled in Wine. I was unable to remove these from the menu for some reason, so I removed the entire Wine category. It was not re-added upon reinstalling Wine... do I have to add it all back manually, or is there some way to have it appear as it did when originally installed?

Since 10.04, dvdrip will not finish ripping without crashing on multi episode disk. Reopened dvdrip to copy log files (below) and only part of log remains, but now transcode is available where before it was not. This dvd has 22 chaptors and it crashed at the end of 21. 22 came up on the progress bar but just stalled there.

Let's say you want to copy some files from one drive (ext3 over USB) to another (ext4 in local box). You have a few terabytes over a couple million files.You could just use Nautilus, which is what I did. It seemed to have completed normally (after a few days).I wanted to verify that everything copied accurately, but I'm not sure the best way to do this. If I used md5sum, the verification would take all week, so that won't do. I used "du -bs *" and compared the sizes of the folders at the root of the drives. Most of the folder sizes were off somewhat - less than 1MB in any case. For each folder whose size was different, the difference was a multiple of 4096 bytes. This makes me suspect that the information du is giving me isn't precisely the information I assume it's giving me.
Baobab gave me different sizes from what du gave me, and it also gave significantly different sizes between my source and destination drives.I wanted to do a "diff -r source destination", but I don't even have a guess as to how long that would take so I gave up after a couple hours. It wouldn't tell me everything I want to know, anyway (if files are missing vs if files did not copy correctly).
So the help I need is:
1.) Is there a quick way to reassure me that everything copied correctly?
2.) Is there a better way to do such marathon copies? (faster and more reliable?)

Whenever I start my netbook up lately, it shows that I have three copies of Ubuntu (at least there are three text copies.) Only the third one works, because whenever I load the first two, it does not get any farther than a command prompt-like text screen that says something like "Kernel Panic." I know that that is about the equivalent to Windows' "blue screen of death," and I would like to know how to get rid of the first two.
I do not know if this is exactly related, but it all started when I tried to do an update, and apparently Compiz is an unauthorized program (which is silly, since I got it from the Software Center. Now, in the third Ubuntu option, the Compiz is non-existant (I used to have multiple desktop areas where I could do work, and have gotten quite used to having many windows open at once, but now, even the icon that I used to use to switch between them isn't there.

rsync -r -v -e ssh root@nn.nn.nn.nn:/usr/local/websites/* /usr/local/websites and each time I run it it copies everything - all files. I thought rsync was only supposed to copy files that had been added or modified.

(Running openSUSE 11.1 with KDE 4.3). I finally got my iPod Touch (2nd Gen) mounted using ifuse and libimobiledevice, using the following command:
Code:
ifuse ~/iPhone
And I was really pleased to finally copy some music files onto my iPod using gtkpod. I navigated to the ~/iPhone/iTunes_Control/Music folder and found the folders F00 to F49. Output of ls -l */*:
Code:

I'm almost certain the files have been successfully copied to the device, because I've unmounted it, using:
Code:
fusermount -u ~/iPhone
and when I re-attached it, the files were still there.
So I just have a few problems:
1) gtkpod won't update the iPod database, even though a dialogue window opens and says it is doing just that. Does anyone know why this might be?
2) Dolphin doesn't recognise that the iPod is mounted? the command dmesg recognises it, but there's no fstab for it. I wonder if anyone knows how I could create a udev rule to automatically mount the iPod when I plug it in. And how can I make dolphin recognise it?
3) Amarok doesn't recognise that it is mounted. I have both 1.4 and 2. I presume this is for the same reason that Dolphin doesn't recognise it.

I am trying to copy the files from my WHS disk to my Ubuntu Server disk. I have the windows disk mounted at /media/WINDOWS and I want to transfer to /storage so I ran;Code:sudo cp -r /media/WINDOWS /storageIt takes about 4-5 seconds and is complete, but there is about 500 GB worth of data there so I know it didn't really copy everything over. When I look at the files in console it shows them, but when I look at the /storage through SAMBA on my Windows machine, it only shows the directories.?

I deleted Windows from my Notebook and am only rockin Ubuntu on this machine. On the (previously) shared Data Partition, there are dozens of GBs occupied by the Volume Shadow Copy Service backups (which I used with Windows) but now how do I get rid of these?In Windows you could either turn off VSS/Restore under System Protection or alternatively use the Disk Cleanup Utility. How do I do this with Ubuntu?
