But what I need is a 1:1 copy no matter what the DVD actually contains - I know, I didn't mention this in a clear way, sorry. For example, the cdrdao command I mentioned before does copy the source 1:1 to the destination media, for cases such as - an ISO image (data CD) - audio tracks (music CD) - VCD - SVCD - video files without ISO enclosing (yes, my standalone player runs these, and it's easy to mplayer -fs /dev/cd0 to watch a movie that is an AVI or MPG file) - an ISO image *and* audio tracks I'm searching for the same functionality applyable to DVD, so I can easily clone video DVDs I made, as well as data DVDs or DVDs with audio tracks (yes, this works, too). -- Polytropon >From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
