So a .ISO image really is that easy? No need to set sector sizes or block whatevers? nice.

Does that handle the css encryption? I've always used dvdbackup myself, but it doesn't create an iso image and seems to be somewhat dated at this point.

Actually, I have no idea if it handles css. I guess it just leaves it alone for ogle (or other player) to descramble.

That would be a bit-for-bit copy with css included, and yes, the DVD player would still need to decrypt it. I also don't think you can copy css to a DVD, the commercially available burnable discs already have that portion of the disc overwritten to prevent piracy. Pirated DVDs are pressed, not burned.

Which will work fine as long as you don't try to burn it to a backup DVD. See above and below.

My understanding also.

Dvdbackup ties into the necessary libraries to handle css for you you. I haven't tried K9Copy. I need to take a look at it someday.

The way I did it was mounting the DVD and then use 'mkisofs' with the dir where the DVD was mounted as an argument. Something like:

#mnt /dev/hda1 /mnt/dvd #mkisofs -o dvd.iso /mnt/dvd

A simple way to circumvent simple copy-protection systems which do work in Windows. I hope I don't violate DMCA by writing this...

Nope, you aren't violating anything. It's free speech and is protected under the First Amendment. ;)
