If you are interested in DVDs under Debian, note that a useful thing to
know about is the videolan project

They provide libdvdcss and libdvdplay, useful libraries to install,
which are not included in Debian. (non-DFSG)
VLC also has a neat "stream to file" feature. I've used that many times
to backup DVD movies, or to get them onto my MythTV machine. Ron, I'm
not sure that'll help your situation, but you might want to give it a
shot. If you need help with that, let me know.
