Hi All
Seems we still can't copy DVD's.




We do. In fact I've been able to copy and burn DVD's for a long
time... Maybe it's a bit more troublesome than doing the same with an
ix86 but we still can do it.




Hi thanks for the reply,
I can burn DVDs from my HDrive and use DVD's for backups for Ardour and such. 

This is whay I got caught out by the DVD copy.
The Copies load into Ardour or my HD no problem, but I had never tried a Film DVD.
I now think it may have been the 'disk at once' that was causing the problem.
I tried to make an image but it seemed to hang the system (although there is a lot of data to copy) 

I'll try again monday.

Thanks for the help
Bob





Just been asked by a client to copy his DVD and it seems
I can't copy DVD's (its our own DVD so no copyright hassles)

Do we on Linux have to suffer this each time we update our systems?

I'm on a 64 bit studio, and now I have to use windows to copy a DVD.




A few days ago i made a copy of the GPS DVD that came with the car. As
i have an external DVD writer, i had a few problems in the begining:
k3b didn't recognisce my DVD-writer. So I made an iso image of the
dvd. Then I played with k3b till i configured my writer and then i
burn the image. And the dvd works perfectly with the gps.



I realise this isn't important to some developers as we move the systems on.
It's just embarrassing for us users that we have to use windows to do
such a standard thing as copy a DVD.


I use K3B on Linux 64bit and didn't realise I couldn't copy my own DVD
till now.




Maybe if you write to debian-user explaining your problem they may
help you. Make shure you have a recent kernel (2.6.12 here) since old
ones had a few problems.



We have a long, long, way to go.




Shure! ;)
