Backup Too Playback Dvd From Difficult Motility Using Ascendancy Line

This postal service is well-nigh how to backup in addition to playback DVD content on a difficult drive using the dominance line.

1. Check available infinite on difficult drive.

     $ df -h Filesystem               Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on rootfs                   1.4T   41G  1.2T   4% / udev                      10M     0   10M   0% /dev tmpfs                    1.6G  900K  1.6G   1% /run /dev/disk/by-uuid/6c30b  1.4T   41G  1.2T   4% / tmpfs                    5.0M     0  5.0M   0% /run/lock tmpfs                    9.6G  640K  9.6G   1% /run/shm 

   The df dominance indicates that 1.2 TB is available on my difficult drive, which is enough to concord the four GB DVD.

2. Insert disc into DVD drive.
3. Backup DVD.

   Both the dd in addition to readom commands write to a unmarried iso file. The dvdbackup dominance writes out the DVD file construction - the consummate VIDEO_TS folder.

   • dd

      $ dd if=/dev/dvd of= /birthday.iso 8310528+0 records inwards 8310528+0 records out 4254990336 bytes (4.3 GB) copied, 303.204 s, 14.0 MB/s 

   • readom

     According to its man page, "unless you lot desire to adventure getting problems, readom should locomote go equally root." Hence, sudo below.

      $ sudo readom dev=/dev/dvd f=  /birthday.iso  Read  speed:  5540 kB/s (CD  31x, DVD  4x). Write speed: 22160 kB/s (CD 125x, DVD 16x). Capacity: 2077632 Blocks = 4155264 kBytes = 4057 MBytes = 4254 prMB Sectorsize: 2048 Bytes Copy from SCSI (3,0,0) disk to file '/home/peter/birthday.iso' end:   2077632 addr:  2077632 cnt: 64 Time total: 277.602sec Read 4155264.00 kB at 14968.4 kB/sec.

     The -o parameter specifies the output directory nether which the DVD file construction volition locomote copied. This directory does non bespeak to locomote unique for your DVDs. This is because a championship sub-directory volition locomote created nether it. For example, you lot tin lead maintain a mutual /movies output directory for all your dwelling menage movies amongst dissimilar titles.

     The -M parameter specifies that you lot desire to "mirror", i.e., backup, the whole DVD.

     The optional -p parameter enables progress reporting during the backup operation.

      $ dvdbackup -p -M -i /dev/dvd -o  /movies libdvdread: Using libdvdcss version 1.2.13 for DVD access libdvdread: Attempting to scream back all CSS keys libdvdread: This tin lead maintain a long time, delight locomote patient libdvdread: Get primal for /VIDEO_TS/VIDEO_TS.VOB at 0x0000011e libdvdread: Elapsed fourth dimension 0 libdvdread: Get primal for /VIDEO_TS/VTS_01_0.VOB at 0x0000358c libdvdread: Elapsed fourth dimension 0 libdvdread: Get primal for /VIDEO_TS/VTS_01_1.VOB at 0x00003710 libdvdread: Elapsed fourth dimension 0 libdvdread: Found 1 VTS's libdvdread: Elapsed fourth dimension 0 Copying menu: 100% done (26/26 MiB) Copying menu: 100% done (1/1 MiB) Copying Title, role 1/4: 100% done (1024/1024 MiB) Copying Title, role 2/4: 100% done (1024/1024 MiB) Copying Title, role 3/4: 100% done (1024/1024 MiB) Copying Title, role 4/4: 100% done (958/958 MiB) 

4. Playback video.

   My favorite video actor is VideoLAN, aka vlc. It tin opened upward an iso file equally good equally a championship directory.

   To play dorsum a DVD backed upward using dvdbackup:

    $ vlc --fullscreen   /movies/2014birthday 

   Note that 2014birthday is the championship directory created nether the /movies directory.

   To play dorsum a DVD backed upward using dd or readom, you lot bespeak to starting fourth dimension mountain the iso file:

    $ sudo mkdir /mnt/iso $ sudo mountain -t iso9660 -o ro,loop  /birthday.iso /mnt/iso $ vlc --fullscreen  /mnt/iso
