[vox-tech] backing up DVDs (was Re: [vox] fair use / DVD questions)

[Jonathan Stickel]

Not too long ago I acquired a Sony DVD+/-RW drive and looked into 
'backing up' a purchased DVD onto DVD5 media.  The best resource I found 
was:

http://www.doom9.org/

Unfortunately, the software is all for windows.  I did find a some stuff 
for linux (dvd::rip) that would rip the DVD to a hardrive and transcode 
to something that fits on a CD (VCD, AVI, etc.), but I had no luck 
converting the title VOBs to something usable that would burn to a DVD5.

In addition, I had no success buring DVD+R/RW media in linux using 
dvd+rw-tools.  I have not yet tried dvd-record with DVD-R/RW media.

Anyone have a positive experience backing up DVDs in linux?  writing 
DVD+ media in linux?
