CD/DVD Duplication

[Jacob Hurley]

Well this might be slightly OT, and I don't know if this is exactly what
you are after..

But last week I was on a mission to 'back-up' some of my DVD's.  I
wanted to do this with my gentoo box and there are a few options out
there (dvd::rip, quickrip, etc) but the one that I was most happy with
was 'drip'.

emerge sync
emerge -pv drip

to take a look at what would be merged.  

DRiP was nice to me and it took around 3-4hrs to cache all the .vob
files to disk and then encode them to DivX (not bad) on my first test
run through with it.

(btw, "fear dot com" wasn't very good (but "ghost ship" was))

On The ScreenSavers, I saw a piece about an app called Alcohol 120%
which
defeats copy-protection on CD's to allow you to backup Games and other
copy-protected CD's. (http://www.alcohol-software.com/).

I want to know if anyone knows of any open-source apps which do this. In
a
perfect world, you'd find one that works in Mac OSX.

Anyone?
