In Chapter 18.6.6 of the FreeBSD Handbook, you'll find instructions for cre= ating an iso image from a data CD using the program dd. dd works for DVD'= s as well. You can then burn the iso image to a DVD using growisofs (see: = man growisofs).

The issue is =0Ait isn= 't happening.=0A=0A To recap i've got some family-made dvd videos that i= 've been asked to =0Aduplicate. They are quite lengthy and as i discovered = won't fit on to a =0Asingle layer dvd, so i got a three-pack, which i've al= ready killed two, =0Aduel-layered dvds. My dvd writer can burn duel-layer d= vds and the players =0Acan all play them so that's not an issue.=0A What= i did originally was to run dvdbackup on the original dvd video. I =0Ainse= rted it and ran:=0A=0Advdbackup -i /dev/cd1 -o /path/to/backup/area -M=0A= =0Awhich created a folder under there called video_ts. A segway i put in a = =0Amovie in to the dvd drive, mounted it and checked it out that also has t= he =0Avideo_ts folder so i'm sure that's what has to go on the dvd. I put i= n one =0Aof the blanks and do:=0A=0Agrowisofs -Z /dev/cd1 -dvd-video /path/= to/backup/area=0A=0A which upon mounting the resulting dvd i confirmed t= hat it does have a =0Avideo_ts folder on it. My issue is when i try to play= them i'm getting disk =0Aread errors. The only thing i can think of is i h= ave to make iso images =0Afirst, but i'd like confirmation on this or an id= ea of what i've missed =0Abefore i try this again, i'd really not like to b= urn another coaster.=0AThanks.=0ADave.=0A=0A_______________________________= ________________=0Afreebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list=0Ahttp://list= s.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions=0ATo unsubscribe, send any= mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"=0A=0A=0A
