Re: DVD Copying Application

Tom <tomNOSPAM@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> writes:

Is there a simple application to make bit-for-bit copies of a DVD? Specifically,
I need to copy a single-layer data DVD, but the ability to copy movie DVDs
would be nice too.
I installed gnomebaker but it doesn't appear to read the DVD, just
burn
one. Is that correct?
Looking forward to your suggestions.

would dd if=/dev/dvdburner of=somefile and then burn the ISO that this
produces work ?

Hi Tom,

Thanks for the tip on dd. I downloaded the iso (2.6 GB - man was that
painful!) and discovered growisofs since posting my question. These
command line utilities are perfectly acceptable to me - I now have a
working copy.
