GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 436339
Allow direct DVD video copy
Last modified: 2009-07-30 07:44:43 UTC
1. Detect whether the inserted DVD is a video DVD 2. Use dvdcpy to output to an ISO/UDF image https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1713743&group_id=75595&atid=544488 3. Burn resulting image with growisofs Note, we could copy the data directly using cp/gnome-vfs if the DVD was not encrypted: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1713742&group_id=75595&atid=544488 Optionally, it could stop at 2. to get us a DVD image.
It should be pretty straight forward to port this into a GObject: http://ogmrip.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/ogmrip/trunk/ogmrip/dvdcpy/dvdcpy.c?view=markup
Thanks for the report. This is already in brasero. It doesn't use dvdcpy as you suggested but when DVDs are encrypted uses libdvdcss (instead) to create an image which can then be burnt...
