Because these copy all the files on the disc, this includes the menus so, it is relatively easy to make a new iso image in future. Unfortunately, it sounds like an image of the DVD isn't enough to make an identical backup because the hidden part of the DVD containing the keys isn't copied and cannot be written to a DVD-/+R/RW so, my only option is to copy the disc contents with vobcopy or dvdbackup and write then unencrypted to a new disc if the original is scratched. I would like to be able to write it to a new DVD should the originals be scratched.Įdit: So, it sounds like, from /u/giantsparklerobot's comment and link that the problem I was having using dd is because the drive needs to unlock access to some sectors, which happens when a player authenticates with the drive. These seem not to happen if I have already played the video so, I suspect these are copy protection related (and the DVDs are brand new so, I don't think they are scratched and, I get the same issues with a different drive).ĭoes anyone know of a way to do this (that is quicker and easier to automate than opening VLC, playing the whole DVD and then doing it with dd)?Įdit: Just to be clear: I am looking to make a backup image of the DVD (an iso file), not rip it to video files.
blk_update_request: critical target error, dev sr0, sector 12870576 sr 4:0:0:0: tag#0 Sense Key : Hardware Error Using dd, I get IO errors with kernel log messages like the following: sr 4:0:0:0: tag#0 FAILED Result: hostbyte=DID_OK driverbyte=DRIVER_SENSE I'm looking to make an image of the DVD itself, rather than extracting the video from it. I'm looking for a way to make images of copy protected DVDs (DVD videos).
