Can anyone recommend something akin to the windows program
DVDShrink in debian? For backing up DVDs I tend to use
dvdbackup (which sometimes fails to get all of some DVDs), then
shrink (dual-layer ones -> single-layer DVD-R) using DVDShrink under
vmware. I tried using it under wine but couldn't get it to recognise my
DVD-R or DVD-RW drive actually existed. Then I use K3B (which is
otherwise excellent) to burn. This is a bit of a circuitous route. I don't
want to remove just one track or such. Is there an easier way?
