dvdbackupx

by Don Mahurin, 2009-01-09

Description:

dvdbackupx is a version of dvdbackup modified to find unused blocks and seek past them, potentially avoiding bad sectors. Unused blocks are found by using the libdvdnav vm (called libdvdvm here, but not really an independent library ) to simulate the execution of pre,post and cell commands to follow each title in the title set.

The intended use of this is to avoid potentially bad sectors that are perhaps created by disc manufacturers attempting to prevent consumer fair use or otherwise subverting the “limited time” copyright condition of the US constitution.

Usage:

dvdbackup -r u -M -i /dev/dvd -o /outdir
