Duplicate Your DVD’s Using Ubuntu

Feb 26, 2008 by

Looking for a simpler way to make a backup copy of your valuable DVD’s? Try “K9″:

sudo apt-get install k9copy

K9Copy is a small utility which allows the copy of DVD on Linux. The DVD video stream is compressed by the program Vamps.
Site: http://k9copy.sourceforge.net/

If you are using KDE, it will appear in the “Multimedia” section of your menu once it’s installed; if you’re using Gnome, it will probably do similar. Run it. It should be plain sailing after that.

Also, there’s a great bash script at this site : http://flavor8.com/index.php/2006/03/26/how-to-back-up-your-dvds-in-ubuntu/
(I’ve not tried this bash script).

  1. I wanted to install Ubuntu Linux 11.10 Desktop Ed. onto my computer, which has two partitions. partition C:\ has XP home, and D:\ has Vista Home Premium. Instead of creating a new partition, I chose the option of installing ubuntu “inside of windows” onto my D partition. Does installing it “inside of Windows” format/delete the data on the partition I install it on? Will it remove Vista from that partition?
