What is wrong. This doesn't work. The final parameter(s) to growisofs must in this form specify a file (or files) or a directory, not a device file. In some cases, it's possible to read the DVD "as is" into an image, and then burn that image (not tested): % dd if=/dev/cd0 of=/tmp/dvd.img bs=2048k % growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/cd0=/tmp/dvd.img However, I think this does not work when the DVD is in UDF. > I have no trouble copying data dvds with -dvd-compat.

Personally, I prefer to use k9copy to get the files into a local TS tree structure, maybe alter them (e. g., remove un- wanted languages or subtitles, or content altogether), then use % growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/cd0 -r -J dvd/ on the remaining dvd/ structure. > Sent from my iPhone Sent to your eyePhone. ;-) -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
