The title seems to be self explainatory. I just want a software to do that. I already have Nero linux but i dont think it is capable of doing it.

Trying out the command line method
enter image description here
I get an Input /Output error though the iso file seems to be fine
also adding bs=1024 doesnt help much

  • You get the Input/output error due to DRM protection.

  • @Rinzwind will that prevent proper copying?

  • That's what DRM is intended for. You will probably run into trouble if you try to install from it.

  • Check dmesg for more detailed errors. And if it is a copy protected video dvd then you will need a program to decrypt and unlock it.

If you feel like going terminal you could try this:

dd if=/dev/dvd of=/myiso.iso bs=1024

There are other examples here:

  • the link tells i need to unmount the cd before using the command. unmounting it causes the cd to eject.

  • @Ashu, you don't need to unmount it first.

  • adding bs=1024 to the line described above , can speed things up. Since it will be reading the disk in larger chunks

dvd:rip is a full featured DVD copy program A front end for transcode and ffmpeg. It provides an easy to use but feature-rich Gtk+ GUI to control almost all aspects of the ripping and transcoding process.

AcidRip is an automated front end for MPlayer/Mencoder (ripping and encoding DVD tool using mplayer and mencoder) written in Perl, using Gtk2::Perl for a graphical interface. Makes encoding a DVD just one button click!

K9copy is a KDE DVD Backup tool. It allows the copy of a DVD9 to a DVD5. It is also known as a Linux DVD shrink. It supports the following features: The video stream is compressed to make the video fiton a 4.7GB recordable DVD. DVD Burning. Creation of ISO images.

Brasero is a good option and available in the software centre

Also K3b is the one I use also available in the software centre (its more Nero-like)
