She bought a DVD recorder, and wishes to make copies of the
off-air stuff, and also some commercial ones with MacroVision.
The interest is partly that she has a DVD player run through
a VCR, and playing the MV stuff requires taking the VCR out
of the signal path. If she could make copies of legally owned
DVDs which were demacroed she wouldn't have the problem
of having to recable her system over and over.

Try vobcopy for the commercial ones, this copies just the movie file
without the menus. For the recorded ones it will depend on what format
Well, that's not quite the goal. It doesn't address the MacroVision.
Part of the impetus is to remove MV so she (actually I) don't have to
recable. A full copy with MV removed would be ideal, but just the
movie demacroed would be ok.
NB: She is not trying to defeat copyrights etc. She wants to copy
her own DVDs which she has purchased to make them more convenient
for her to use herself.
the recordings are. I use DVD-ram and you can simply copy over the .vro
file and rename it .mpg. Avidemux to edit it then use transcode,
dvdauthor etc. to shrink/reauthor the DVD.
That's something to bear in mind. Her current plan is to use
DVD+R, not DVD-RAM.
