Use the program called "DeVeDe" to create an ISO image from all those VIDEO_TS files and then K3B (or any burner) should have no trouble burning the ISO image. Use this method all the time with my video editing work. Tried to leave this same comment on the blog post but wordpress is full of fail. ~Jeff Hoogland |

Sorry about the problems with the commenting I will see if I can figure out what is going on with that. That is good to know about DeVeDe. I have found that dvdfab hdencrypter works in Linux too. I wonder if it works on encrypted dvd's too. |

Sorry about the problems with the commenting system I will see if I can figure out what is going on with that. That is good to know about DeVeDe. I have found that dvdfab hdencrypter works in Linux too. I wonder if DevVeDe works on encrypted dvd's too. I just tested the commenting and it is working right now, although I do have it set to require people to log in to comment. |

I did run into a problem when trying to create a dvd iso in DeVeDe I get an insufficient space message and it shows the projected output file being over 35 thousand megabytes large. With dvdFab it is only 1 gig. Has anyone else ran into that issue? Maybe I am doing it wrong. Not holding my tongue out just right or something. |

I use DVDRIP, an excellent piece of software for the more advanced user even when i used KDE I always preferred it over DeVeDe.
It has a wealth of options which may put off the casual user and is not the friendliest user interface on the planet but it does a great job especially if you have to do a lot of conversions between PAL & NTSC or modify aspect ratios. DVDRip works on encrypted DVDs as well as long as you have libdvdcss2 installed. |

Why should anyone need to log in to make a comment? Your side isn't some giant news site or anything, it's some small, obscure blog. I already have way too many logins, and the last thing I want to do is create a new one for every single blog I happen to visit, just to leave a comment. And no, I don't really want to use my Facebook profile to post anything either. What's wrong with just allowing anonymous comments? It's not like your site sees so much traffic that it'll be filled with spam or trolls; if there's one or two such posts, just delete them. |

I understand what you are saying about the logins. I had a site once which I took down in part thanks to the hundreds and sometimes thousands of spams I would get in a day. Get sick or busy for a couple of days and you would have a lengthy project on your hands just trying to clear out comment spam before you will get anything else done. The login requirement is an experiment to see if that helps to keep some of the spam at bay. You may also be interested in knowing that the login is not just for my site but is a wordpress login and should work with all other wordpress sites that have that feature enabled. Also that registration gives you access to create your own wordpress page if you wish. Why should I spend so much time deleting comment spam? It doesn't matter what the site is now or if it ever grows to a large news site. What matters is that I can share information with the Linux community and have a handy information resource for myself and still have time for the things in life that are important. Also it is my site and if I want a log in requirement I will have one. Setup your own page and then you can decide if you want a log in to comment setting on yours or not! |

Setup your own page and then you can decide if you want a log in to comment setting on yours or not!Another perhaps unintended consequence of this decision is the real possibility that other blogs/sites will invariably attract those members of the "Linux community" who wish to remain anonymous AND who are most willing to share key information for others as well as amongst themselves. Indeed, the desire for anonymity clearly matters much more for some than for others. |

The "Bad Behavior" and "Akismet" plugins for wordpress seem to help quite a bit with spammers. |

I had no idea the whole log in concept would be such a hot topic. A lot of good points have been made on that issue nonetheless. I look forward to giving DVDrip a try. |

Maybe I misunderstood your post... Are you looking to RIP dvds or prepare files to be burned to DVDs? For the latter I would recommend Handbrake. DeVeDe is not a ripping tool. ~Jeff |
| gnubertech Aug 25, 2011 6:53 PM EDT |
I am looking to do both. I have had success with dvdfab and Nero but would like to find more open solutions. I have burned off one Disk with iso technique in addition to using the udf option in Nero, but I used dvdfab to create the iso and Nero to burn. I will be getting more disk to try the same thing out with k3b and or other burning programs. Then I will be working toward finding a native linux app for the ripping and preparing part. |

I may have got the wrong end of the stick DVDRip is good for ripping, never had the need to actually create iso's from rips although I suspect it wouldnt require much once you have created your avi file etc, I do know DVDRip will create avi's specified by output media size. Handbrake as mentioned by Jeff is also good especially for good quality H264 encodes. |

For ripping DVD's,to disk, I've always preferred the old standby command line utility dvdbackup. I've never tried creating a DVD from scratch. |

Thanks everyone. You have given me a lot of things to try out. |

The basic command most of the front-ends probably use is something like: growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/sr0 -dvd-video DIR-MY-DVD-FILESTRUCTURE-IS-IN (The directory above would contain the VIDEO_TS/ and AUDIO_TS/ dirs obtained from authoring or ripping a dvd. /dev/sr0 is whatever your burner is.) If you had an iso image, simply 'growisofs -Z/dev/sr0=foo.iso' would do the trick. In theory, such an image (ignoring 9 to 5 dual layer size problem, or recent DRM involving purposely bad sectors on source disc) could be created with 'cp' or 'dd' from the raw device. Encryption is irrelevant in that case. In practice, however, we care about requantising and DRM, which some tools free and otherwise made for backups exist. So, any half assed gui should be able to do it. For this purpose, I dont recall if I have ever bothered using something like k3b, but trust me I have burned hundreds... cd/dvdrecord can also probably do this. |

My current multimedia toolkit consists of dvd::rip for custom dvd ripping, nice for PAL<>NTSC & Aspect Ratio conversions. handbrake for easy dvd ripping avidemux for simple avi editing and conversion to other formats. ripperx for mp3 audio divfix++ for fixing bad avi's brasero for straight copying and burning. soundconverter for converting between different audio formats That lot has covered just about any problem ive ever come across bear in mind none of this is for advanced video editing of which I know nothing about. For DVD9 to DVD5 copies this article explains the basics of using dvd::rip http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/dvd... |

Thanks Set for that information. My first DVD was burned using the udf in Nero as the article I posted revealed. I have created an iso image to try k3b out with. |
