K9 is broken......current version. The author claims that it has a problem with "bad sectors" on DVDs. I'm not sure, as I just copied a dual-layer commercial DVD that I want to make an archive copy from, creating an ISO. K9 barfed on the ISO.

Is there any other software that will compress a dual layer to a single layer DVD as well as K9?

Thanks!

If you do not need the menu structure, you can try XDVDBackup. There is an rpm at packman's site.

Also, the win utility - DVDShrink works well under wine.

Both of them will fail with newer Sony's protection. So far I have seen only win tolls to cope with it. You may wish to try doing the ripping with DVDdecryptor (it handles more copy protection schemes) and then processing the files through DVDShrink. Both work fine under recent Wine releases.

That MAY be the real failure here as well. I only know what the author said, which may or may not be accurate. :( Fred -- Remember, a consumer is a customer with no choice.

Have you tried lxdvdrip? I've used it a couple of times and it seems to work OK. It's CLI though, but I didn't have a problem. No special parameters that weren't in the config file except for language. Easily changed to English..

'Doesn't compress a dual layer to a single layer DVD. This is one thing that K9 does VERY well. Fred -- Remember, a consumer is a customer with no choice.

No......no such file name, nor does it exist on the Net.

Sorry, I misled you with a wrong name. The program is indeed xdvdshrink, but it is part of the package dvdshrink, which you can find on packman's site.

'Saright.......thanks! By the by, K3b is almost version 1.0. I don't know if it will compress an image or not. Fred -- Remember, a consumer is a customer with no choice.
