Is it just me or is it alot more complicated to backup dvds in linux then windows? I have the chappelle show season 2 and I've been trying to back it up in Linux but apparently its encrypted. So I'm just wondering if anyone knows of a program that will do this for me in Linux? I'm really trying to limit the things I use Windows for to just games. I've read about DeCSS and all the instructions on how to use it seem very unclear and complicated. Anybody have any suggestions? Any help is greatly appreciated!
The biggest problem is that most decrypting software are designed for PC and some for MAC. I did some reading on this a while back and there didn't seem to be a easy way of doing it in Linux at that time. I haven't checked lately. Just Google for [bold]LINUX DVD DECRYPTING[/bold] and you should get some information. Jerry
truspin, i dabble in Linux from time to time. paste links to what you've got so far and i'll see if i can make sense of it for you. if i recall correctly you 'just' need to install a few packages..
Also try these resources http://forum.doom9.org/ There's a Linux forum for DVD backup comp.os.linux.xxx newsgroups on nntp news servers(usenet) Probably you can get the most detailed info on the comp.os.linux.xxx newsgroups but do some googling first. If they get a whiff you didn't make any effort to get the info yourself you may get flamed or just ignored.
