I'm trying to make an ISO of my DVD, but dvdbackup always fails at a certain point, it is copying well for about 2GB, and then it just stops, no errors. i've used also other commandline tools like mkisofs, dd, cpdvd, vobcopy, nothing works. Dd gives an error, the other just also 'stop'. Does anyone has a solution ?

brechtvb,

You need to be careful with ISOs of DVDs.
The ISO 9660 format really only supports up to 4Gb. After that is breaks gently. You may not have any directories past the 4Gb limit but data files are OK.

How big is your DVD and what is its phyical layout?

brechtvb,

Does it exit or is it still running?

Look at the process queue with
Code:
ps -Alf

I have run into some DVDs that cannot be copied with that program. There is some new ways that the movie industry is making the DVDs, they are incorporating bad or blank sectors which locks that program and others up. Try a different or older movie DVD and see if it works, if so than that DVD might be one of those new protected ones. I was hoping that vobcopy would be updated sometime soon, as now I found a site that has a ported XDVDSHRINK program. So they ported over DVDShrink to Linux. I haven't tried it yet, since I just heard about it and am downloading the source now.

well indeed, its a recent dvd i think...idd, but maybe in a few weeks, we must be able to copy these. I'll try finding to scan the cd for bad/blank sector with one or another tool.

Well you can, but as far as I have found the only program that does is a Windows one. The newest and last version of DVDDecrypter. The author has run into legal problems so is no longer making it for Windows or any OS.
