Thanks for the links -- could you tell me how these programs
handle shrinking though?
dvdbackup doesn't throw out any data (do any shrinking). It
creates an identical* copy. That's the generaly accepted
meaning of "backup".
(Last time I tried this I ended up with an 8Gb file on my HD,
that wouldn't fit on a new DVD, and then a whole load of other
cmd line programs were needed to resize it.)
Do dvdbackup and k9copy do this automatically now (just looked
at the dvdbackup docs, there's not much there yet).
I don't know about k9copy, but dvdbackup doesn't. It creates
an identical* backup copy. Hence the name of the program: "dvd
backup". If you're going to throw away bits, it's hardly a
"backup" is it?
[*] The backup copy is unencrypted.
