dvdbackup: "Error reading MENU VOB" upon dvdr copy

[SerfurJ]

i have a video dvd-r (non-encrypted) and i'd like to make a copy of it.

i tried using cp to copy the dvd file tree onto the hard drive, but i get an "Input/output error" on big files >4GB. i tried dvdbackup, but it also fails on the big file, with the error "Error reading MENU VOB".

any ideas?

Is your kernel and compiled with large block device support?

i compiled large block device support into the kernel and i'm having the same problem. i think large block device support might be different from large file support, and i think my system has large file support.

it shouldn't be a large file problem anyway, since dvdbackup works on double-layer dvds.

has anybody gotten this error with dvdbackup?

what type of file system are you trying to copy it to? The filesystem itself may not support file sizes of reater than 4GB.

the hard drive has a reiserfs fs.

i've gotten the same error with two different dvds, so it's no the dvd.

here's the output of ulimit:

Actually, if you are trying to copy a non-encrypted DVD-R, you should be able to use K3B. Just use the copy disc option. If that doesn't work you can use dd to copy the contents of the disc to a file on your hard drive. (An ISO image) Then you should be able to burn the image in K3B or use growisofs directly.

i tried what you suggested and it fails with
