If it's legal in your part of the world: 1. Install /usr/ports/multimedia/libdvdcss 2. Install /usr/ports/multimedia/libdvdread 3. Install /usr/ports/sysutils/vobcopy 4. Run vobcopy -m to copy everything to harddisk 5. Backup the directory with growisofs BUT, be advised that menus may break, and that .ifo and .bup files may loose meaning (IIRC they refer to physical sectors on the DVD which are lost when copying (and deCSS-ing) the VOBs to disk. But the video/sound stuff is in the VOB. They're all that really matter. If you really want to recreate a DVD that is viewable with hardware DVD players, you'll need to use a DVD authoring software (like multimedia/dvdauthor) and a lot of reading before. Of course, all this is assuming that where you life, you are legally allowed to make a private backup copy, to use DeCSS to this purpose / or that you are the copyright owner of the content (owning the media is not enough). ;-) > Thanks. > Dave. cpghost. -- Cordula's Web. http://www.cordula.ws/
