Hi FX,

Thanks for your prompt responce..

Sorry, but I'm not Belgian, I'm Scottish working and living in Belgium. I hope you won't hold that again's me.. It could be worse... I could be En....

Anyway. I have also just downloaded dvdbackup and kdvdbackup. I start the kdvdbackup and eveything seems file. I change the "Where to extract to" and this seems fine. I then do Detect and it see's the dvd I have in the drive.

Then I click Backup. It starts to work..

This is what I get... Any ideas..

[Title 1] Backup Title 1 of 3 [Title 1] Backup Vob file 1 of 2 Error reading MENU VOB Mirror of Title set 1 faild Mirror of DVD faild

The only time when I've had this is when the dvd was scratched or dirty (finger marks), which often happens with rented DVD's; try wiping it with a clean hanky.

If this is not the cas, try as root from a terminal window

dvdbackup -i /dev/dvd -M -o /home/yourname/

If this works, it may be a permission problem.

I have tried from a terminal windows as root the above command, but it says that it cant find dvdbackup. I have tried a find and it cant find dvdbackup, but I know I have it installed. I installed via a Red Hat RPM as per one of the previous posts. I must be really stupid or something.. I just can't seem to get this thing to work. Thanks, Martin

Once this is working how do you copy back to DVD?

Ken

As I haven't got dvdbackup to work, so I'm not exactly sure, but if you look at FX's previous posts this should help. FX had done a few DVD backup's an he explains how to do this. Martin

Yip, it's me AGAIN.

I just got the dvdbackup installed with the thanks to Ken. I have now tried the above command you very kindly gave me, but it doesn't work on my system.

Here is the error I get :-

dvdbackup -i /dev/dvd -M -o /home/lovem/temp/dvd libdvdread: Encrypted DVD support unavailable. dvdbackup: error while loading shared libraries: dvdbackup: undefined symbol: UDFFindFile

Thanks,

Martin

OK. It looks like you don't have the libdvdcss package installed that allows you to read encrypted DVD's. Let me know if you need that package as well. Ken
