Program suggestion

[Kelsay, Brian - Kansas City, MO]

 So is there a good tutorial somewhere on how to combine all the pieces
you two have mentioned in order to come up with a working copy of a dvd
movie?  I have no problems using DVDShrink, it's dead easy, but takes
about 1.5 hours on my AMD XP64 3000+.  Do I need to string these tools
together in a script or something?

I use dvdbackup, and it's not as good as DVD Decrypter.  If you have a
good
DVD, dvdbackup works great.  If, however, you have enough scratches or
other
damage to cause bad sectors, dvdbackup barfs and errors out.  DVD
Decryptor,
on the other hand, keeps going and replaces the bad sectors (with zeros,
I
think), so you can at least get all the readable info off your DVD
(important when you have 2 year old twins who have figured out the eject
button on the DVD player!).

It annoys me I have to use a windows program to 'rescue' my damaged
DVDs,
but I have yet to find anything on linux that handles read errors
effectively.
